typical for july... (pm.17.jul.13)>

Wednesday's stats:

Low temp: 66.4F (19.1C)
High temp: 72.1F (22.3C)
Rainfall since 6am: 0.15" (4mm)
Rainfall past 24 hours: 0.36" (9mm)

It is raining lightly this evening, and that light rain has been all we've seen since late yesterday -- rainfall overnight and today has been much less significant than during the previous 24-36 hours.  Although it remained mostly cloudy with periods of fog throughout the day, the sun did make a couple of attempts to peek through, and that allowed temps to warm a couple of degrees higher than yesterday.

Typical monsoon conditions are expected to continue during the next couple of days, with the usual clouds, fog and periods of rain.  There could be some brief glimmers of sun, but with the atmosphere remaining very close to the saturation point, it's going to be hard to get much in the way of significant clearing.

Things are still looking a bit ominous for the weekend, with computer models pointing to an outbreak of widespread moderate to heavy rainfall across most of Himalayan north India -- especially from late Friday into Sunday.  Of course that's not abnormal for this time of year, but be aware of the potential for heavier rainfall amounts of perhaps 6-8" (15-20cm) during that time period, which would lead to a lot of water running downhill, obviously.  Stay tuned!
