Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 64.9F (18.3C)
High temp: 70.8F (21.6C)
Rainfall: 0.22" (6mm) -- as of 8:10pm
*Update @ 8:15pm -- Rainfall has increased during the last half-hour or so. Updated total above.
--------------------------------------------------------------
It's about as cloudy and foggy as it can possibly get out there this evening, with a bit of drizzle occurring off and on as well. Today's rain has been very light, with most of the little that has accumulated in the rain gauge falling between about 4:00 and 5:00pm. We have had a predominance of clouds, however, with only a couple of very brief glimpses of sun during the early afternoon.
The tropical soup remains firmly entrenched here along the front ranges of the Indian Himalayas, and that scenario is not going to change appreciably in the near future. We will continue to see the normal ebbs and flows, surges and retreats of the deepest and richest pockets of moisture, as numerous weak mid-level circulations drift through. Computer model data/projections are almost worthless in terms of tracking the development of individual episodes of rain -- and as we've seen the last several days, they can occur anytime of the day or night. This air mass is so packed with moisture that when the right ingredients line up, it's not difficult to get more than two inches (5cm) of rain in a relatively short period of time.
THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK remains very repetitive, but you can check it out on the tab above, along with the MONSOON 2015: RAINFALL TALLY, which I am trying to keep updated on a daily basis.
