*Update @ 7:52am... It could just be temporary, but the rain has really picked up again in the past 20 minutes or so. Raining moderately now.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It's another totally cloudy morning with some patches of thick fog in the area, and a few sprinkles of rain as well. We had a few periods of mainly light rain overnight, amounting to just 0.22" (5mm) in my gauge here in the upper part of town. I've recorded an overnight low temp of 64.2F (17.9C), and the humidity is currently 94%.
Tuesday marked the beginning of this latest phase of more active monsoon conditions, and since then, I've measured 4.22" (10.7cm) of rain at my location. Apart from the very heavy downpour on Tuesday afternoon, most of it has come rather slowly and steadily, in the form of hours and hours of light to occasionally moderate rain. It's really the first time this season that we are "in the soup", so to speak, with so much persistent cloudiness and fog -- but actually this is how it is supposed to be during this time of year.
There is no evidence of a significant retreat of deep, thick and rich tropical moisture during the next several days on any of the weather charts -- in fact, it looks like we're going to be dealing with an extended period of saturated or close to saturated conditions which will keep lots of clouds and fog around. There could also be extended periods of rain developing at any time of the day or night, with that ever-present risk of some heavier rainfall amounts as well. The latest data is now targeting Sunday through Tuesday for very heavy rains in our area, so it's still looking like this final week of July is going to be very wet...
