Friday's stats:
Low temp: 66.2F (19.0C)
High temp: 69.8F (21.0C)
Rainfall: 0.34" (9mm) -- updated @ 8:10pm
Thick clouds, fog, and drizzle. That's the story this evening, and it's been the story for much of the day, actually. We did have a period of slightly more substantial rain during the mid-afternoon, but so far the rainfall tally has been very much on the light side today -- at least here in the immediate McLeod vicinity. Temperatures have barely moved.
Computer models are keeping a wide swath of periodic rain development across most of Himachal Pradesh south and west of the main Himalayan ranges this weekend, though there is some evidence of a slight drying trend kicking in by late Sunday through Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Our average daily rainfall rates may not be affected very much, but it is possible that we could see some brighter skies at times early next week, along with a dip in humidity levels for two or three days. BUT -- retreats of the deepest tropical moisture usually don't last very long during the first half of August, so even if we get out of the soup for a couple of days, a return to saturation (fog/thick clouds) probably won't be far away.
