late july is like this... (pm.25.jul.14)>

Friday's stats:

Low temp: 63.7F (17.6C)
High temp: 66.2F (19.0C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.85" (2.2cm)

There are actually a few tiny breaks in an otherwise overcast sky this evening, with a few isolated small patches of fog as well.  Clouds, fog, drizzle, and periods of light to moderate rain occurred for most of the day -- until the mid-afternoon, when we've been able to dry out a bit.  Take a look (above) at what the thermometer did, or didn't do, today... when the humidity stays close to 100%, it's hard for the temperature to move very much.

We remain in the midst of a very active phase of the monsoon -- as evidenced by the pervasive cloudiness and fog during the past few days, along with these long and protracted periods of rain and drizzle.  These conditions can soon start to really wear on people, especially when they don't relent for days on end.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look likely that we'll be able to come up with much of break from all this, though there could be a few hours of dry weather and lower humidity (down to the 70-80% range) from time to time.

It appears that our risk of heavier rain will be increasing further as we head toward Sunday and Monday, with a couple of the computer models showing some truly huge rainfall amounts in our general area during the first part of the new week.  I'm still fairly confident that we'll pick up another 10" (25cm+) before the month of July comes to an end...
