Friday's stats:
Low temp: 65.8F (18.8C)
High temp: 72.5F (22.5C)
Rainfall: trace
It's almost inconceivable that we've had such a radical and dramatic pendulum swing during the past week to ten days or so. Up until about the 12th of the month, we were receiving enough rainfall on a daily basis to keep us well ahead of a curve which would allow us to finish August well above normal. Since then, our daily rains have sputtered out to almost nothing, and we're now on a pace to finish the month way way way below normal. Check the UPDATED RAINFALL TALLY on the tab above to scroll through the specific rainfall data for this monsoon season.
Sunshine has been a little harder to come by during the last couple of days... with plenty of clouds and occasional fog hugging our mountain slopes. BUT -- rainfall during the past six days has been scanty at best, at least here in the immediate McLeod area. The agreement among the various computer models of an increasing chance of significant rains has failed to materialize, as atmospheric dynamics are just not in sync, it seems.
A downpour of moderate showers could occur any day though -- in spite of a pattern which is going to shift/change very little during the next week or so.
