Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 63.1F (17.3C)
High temp: 71.6F (22.0C)
Rainfall since 7am: 1.14" (2.9cm)
24 hour rainfall total: 5.29" (13.4cm)
The play between clouds, fog, and the setting sun is very dramatic and quite beautiful this evening, with changes happening almost on a minute-by-minute basis as I type. It's an interesting end to a very wet 24 hour period, with a huge rainfall total being racked up between about 9:30pm last night, and early this afternoon. It seems the very heaviest rainfall rates (at least at my location) occurred between 9:30pm and about 1:00am, then again between 4:30am and 8:30am. -- if anyone cares about such details. For the second time since the wee hours of Sunday morning, we've come up with a monumental dose of rain. The last few days have now put us ABOVE normal for July, after a rather sluggish start to the month.
I've been going cross-eyed looking at the weather charts and data this evening, as there is so much inconsistency between the various models' projections for the next five days or so. Computer crunching of weather data is notoriously inept here along the front slopes of the mountains of northern India, and even more so during this time of year. Suffice it to say that deep, rich, juicy tropical moisture is going to be lingering precariously close to us for the duration -- keeping us vulnerable to the development of rather widespread areas of rain anytime of the day or night. With humidity levels now averaging above 80%, foggy periods will be frequent as well, in spite of some sunshine breaks now and then.
Temperature-wise, we've now settled into the typical zone for monsoon season -- not venturing very far outside of the 63-75F (17-24C) range for days on end.
