tuesday evening>

the monsoon is officially covering all of india as of today. rain has been virtually non-stop since the wee hours of the morning... giving us a total of 3.05" (7.7cm) in the past 24 hours. AND... it's still raining moderately at 6pm. the satellite pic this evening shows a wide area of rain and embedded thunderstorms extending from northern rajasthan through haryana and punjab into himachal pradesh. computer guidance models show the potential for a gradual diminishing of the rain as we move into the latter half of the week, but then an increase in rainfall potential again over the weekend. during monsoon, a break in the rain of 12-24 hours is common (and not unwelcome), but as i mentioned yesterday, glimpses of sunshine will only heat things up enough to contribute to the development of more clouds and fog and eventually, rain. the high temp this afternoon was only around 17c/63f... the coldest day since MARCH!! with any luck, we'll warm back up to 21c/70f or more before the week is out...
