Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 57.0F (13.9C)
High temp: 65.4F (18.6C)
Rainfall: 5.21" (13.2cm) -- largest daily total of 2017
Today's rainfall was totally off the charts and beyond comprehension -- most years during the monsoon season we get a calendar day total in the range of what we saw today only a few times. In fact, last year, the largest daily rainfall amount of the entire season was on the 11th of August when I recorded 6.17" (15.7cm). And the best part of the story is, according to the India Met Department, IT'S STILL NOT OFFICIALLY MONSOON.!! Except for a few very short breaks, it rained almost continuously today from 2:20am until about 3:45pm.
There are indications that we'll see somewhat of a stabilizing trend in our atmospheric dynamics between tomorrow (Thu) and Saturday, though we still can't rule out at least a couple of periods of showers/thunder during that period. This inaugural surge of tropical moisture will be in retreat mode, while temperatures aloft warm up significantly, especially on Friday and Saturday. However, a fresh push/surge of very moisture-laden air will be heading in our direction again Saturday night or Sunday, and is expected to hang around into at least the middle of next week.
