Tuesday's stats:
Low temp: 65.8F (18.8C)
High temp: 74.1F (23.4C)
Rainfall since midnight: 0.74" (1.9cm)
Our Tuesday is ending much differently than it began, with totally overcast skies and thick fog -- as opposed to the bright sunshine we enjoyed up until 9:30am or so. In between, we've had a few periods of rain, a couple of which were quite heavy during the 11:30am to 2:00pm range. The temperature spiked just above 74ºF (23.4ºC) during the mid-morning, which was the warmest of the month thus far.
Some slightly drier air has managed to work its way into northwest India during the past 30 hours or so, but as expected, it's not firmly taking hold, and will probably be swamped by the next surge of tropical moisture by tomorrow evening, if not before. It's obvious that we're desperate for some kind of relief when we make a big deal of just a few hours of partial sunshine like we had yesterday afternoon and again this morning.
Our August rainfall tally is running ahead of the normal/average rate up to this point, after close to normal June and July totals at my location in the upper part of McLeod. Right now it's looking like we'll continue to see active monsoon conditions over the course of the coming ten days to two weeks, with still some hints of a slow-down during the final five days of the month or so. Of course projections going that far into the future are notoriously bad ---- but we'll keep following what the data/charts are saying day-by-day.
