Monday's stats:
Low temp: 65.1F (18.4C)
High temp: 72.9F (22.7C)
Rainfall: 0.67" (1.7cm)
As August evenings go, this one is about as calm, quiet, clear, dry and beautiful as they get. There are some patches of clouds around as we approach sunset, but visibility is very good at the moment, with some nice glimpses of sunshine. Things went almost exactly according to plan today -- with lots of variability between sun, clouds, patchy fog, and rain showers. Almost all of the rain (and thunder) happened between about 12:20pm and 3:40pm, and my rain gauge in the upper part of town showed a total almost exactly equal to the one recorded yesterday afternoon.
Although it's still been raining every day, there's definitely been a major slow-down since Saturday. I've recorded only about an inch and a half (nearly 4cm) during the past three days... and that's less than the daily average last week. The average moisture content of the air mass as a whole is quite low for the middle of August, and that's allowing us to enjoy these unseasonable doses of sunshine.
We could have another day or so of this before we shift back into a more active and robust phase of monsoon conditions. I think we could see things turn for the worse by tomorrow evening, or perhaps on Wednesday... with a better chance of some extended periods of clouds, fog, and heavy rains lasting into Saturday.
