We've just had a beautiful but eerie-looking sunset, with these patches of clouds and fog drifting around the area. Today turned out to quite nice, actually, after the clouds and very light rain showers finally relinquished their grip during the early afternoon. I was surprised (but pleased) to see so much sunshine during the mid- to late afternoon hours -- which was a change of pace from the recent routine of morning sun/afternoon clouds. Most of the rainfall total since midnight occurred during the wee hours of the morning, with just 0.09" (2mm) since sunrise.
Although there will be a few variations on the theme, the weather scenario during the coming several days should improve only slowly, if at all. Computer models continue to show a slow and subtle drying of the atmosphere between tomorrow (Sun) and Thursday, but honestly, it is SO slow and subtle that I wonder how much practical/tangible effect it will produce for us. The underlying issue is that our overall weather pattern does not support a significant push of drier air from central Asia that is absolutely necessary to nudge this leftover tropical moisture out of northwest India. It's pretty flabbergasting, actually, that we're going to move into October with all this murkiness still hanging around.
There will continue to be some stretches of sunshine for a few hours on most days, but the periods of clouds, fog, and occasional showers and thundershowers are going to remain in the forecast next week. An optimistic outlook would be to see some improvement by Tuesday and Wednesday, but optimism is not always realism. We'll have to stay on top of the latest data and see if there might be some sudden, dramatic overhaul appearing.
