weird and unusual... (am.12.jul.14)>

*Update @ 10:21am...  Well lo and behold, there is some fog trying to develop late this morning, as the humidity reading creeps a bit higher (now 74%).  Looks like some of that long-awaited deeper moisture is teasing us.

-------------------------------------------------------------
We have a mix of hazy sun and a few clouds early this Saturday morning.  I'm recording a very mild overnight low temp of 68.0F (20.0C) here in the upper part of town, and there has been only a trace of rainfall since last evening's report, in the form of some sprinkles and very light showers that lingered until dark.  Humidity this morning is 62%.

I've been back in McLeod for six full days now, and I have yet to see any fog.  That is almost impossible to believe, considering that we're now getting into the middle of July.  Though we've been getting some showers every day, conditions are still really not very monsoon-like at all, as the average daily humidity is remaining in the 55-75% range.  It SHOULD be in the 80-100% range on a daily basis by now.

This morning's data contains some discrepancies and inconsistencies, as it has all week long, with regard to a resurgence of more genuine monsoon conditions in the coming days.  All we can do is just be prepared to continue dodging these mainly afternoon showers/thundershowers this weekend -- and be braced for an increasing chance of fog development and some potentially longer-lasting and heavier rains as the new week unfolds.  As I've been mentioning, our temperatures will max out a few degrees above normal for this time of year until the clouds/fog begin to exert more dominance.
