Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 64.2F (17.9C)
High temp: 67.1F (19.5C)
Rainfall: 0.86" (2.2cm)
We're in the midst of a period of light rain at the moment, one of several such episodes today. There was actually a more robust period of rain during the late morning, but mostly it's been the drizzly, very light stuff that we've seen so much of since the middle of last week. I'm wondering if a monkey peed in my rain gauge, because there was a bit larger amount there than seemed reasonable. But I guess we'll never know for sure. The other notable event of the day was the sunshine which popped out for a while late this afternoon... through brief, it was refreshing.
Daily rainfall rates the last few days have fallen short of what the data has been suggesting, and have been surprisingly less than what we would expect with this sort of pattern. It's a mystery why that's been happening, but I'm going to hang tough and hold out for a continuing risk of a period or two of very heavy rainfall between now and about Wednesday. As we know, we can suddenly get a massive dumping of 3-4" (7-10cm) quite easily during the middle of the monsoon season, and it can happen just when we start to give up on it.
There are four days left in the month of July, and we're still needing about 7-8" (18-20cm) of rain to end up with the normal/average amount. It seemed we were on a near-certain course to reach that, until the slow-down in our rainfall rates the last few days. It will be interesting to keep an eye on the rain gauge between now and Thursday.
