incredibly feeble... (pm.29.aug.14)>

I've been away from home the last few days, so I haven't been able to keep an eye on temperatures, humidity and rainfall info that I normally monitor.  It doesn't matter so much, though, since things have been extremely uneventful.

These last 13 days or so have featured the longest stretch of generally inactive monsoon conditions that I can ever remember occurring during the month of August.  It is very understandable that we're being lulled into thinking that the monsoon season has come to an end, since it has seemed much more like late September.

However, as I mentioned earlier this week, there are still signs that deeper, richer and juicer tropical moisture is going to ease back in our direction as we transition into the new month.  It's going to be a rude awakening when we end up with a saturated atmosphere capable of producing persistent clouds, fog, drizzle and periods of significant rainfall after this recent long stretch of a very feeble monsoon.  Stay tuned as we wait for those changes to occur...
