We're waking up to thick clouds and fog on this Thursday morning, along with steady light rain and drizzle. There's even been a bit of thunder rumbling during the last few minutes. Rain which began falling shortly before 8:00pm last evening has been fairly consistent throughout the night into the early morning hours, and I'm measuring 1.60" (4.1cm) since last night's update at 8:15pm. Humidity is (obviously) very close to 100%, and the low temp here at my location has been 65.7F (18.7C).
The weather charts and data are very monotonous, as the overall pattern remains exactly as we would expect during the first week of August. We are right in the middle of the historical average dates of the monsoon season here in Himachal Pradesh, and our atmosphere is behaving accordingly. The best we can hope for will be some periodic hours of dry weather here and there, and perhaps some brief periods of sunshine once in a while in the midst of a predominance of clouds and fog.
Early next week there could be a more notable (though temporary) retreat of the deepest tropical moisture -- but even then it's likely that we'll continue to see measurable rainfall almost every day.
