Apart from yesterday morning, we have had lovely blue skies for a while now, with fantastic autumn colours  But I have been noticing how very little rain we have had since I got back to the UK.

Here in Western New York, our yearly precipitation total now stands at 3.56 inches BELOW normal. Aerosol activity has been especially heavy lately.

It seems to me that the reduction in rain is related to the reduction in natural sunlight:
http://www.carnicom.com/light1.htm
Funny thing is a couple of days ago I was stuck in traffic at 3:00pm and I was watching this massive thunderhead coming towards the city from the South-West. On the radio there were warnings about thunderstorm activity and a severe weather warning was also issued. By 5:00pm the thunderhead had disappeared only to be replaced by a motley collection of clouds which refused to part with any precipitation. Through breaks in the cloud cover I observed the remnants of CTs. However due to the exigencies of work I didn't actually witness the dissipation process.
I suppose you're wondering why I'm reporting this observation in this thread. The answer is that I have never seen CTs so quickly and effectively destroy a weather front in the way this was done.
Then strangely enough the following day we had a day of severe weather warnings again where Mother Nature really unleashed her fury around the region especially with a couple of catastrophic hailstorms on the outskirts of the city to the north-west as well as further south but there wasn't a CT to be seen.
I suppose the sprayers don't work on weekends.

Some discussion on the finer points of just what you observed taking place at ezboard 8, BB:

Some very nice, straightforward, documentation by CC on that one. This photo in particular illustrates quite nicely that even on a clear day, you're still literally bathing in these aerosols:

Thanks for the link Chem.
The point I was making was that it was so efficient in achieving destruction of the first thunderhead but then they did nothing about the severe weather front that arrived the following day. If I was cynical I'd say it had something to do with the Rugby World Cup being played here at the moment. No longer am I sure about the objectives of the CTs unless of course they have already been achieved and we just haven't noticed.

Amber Uruguay defeated Georgia tonight 24-12.
On the question of rain Amber you are now starting to get what we have although there seems to be a cynical campaign underway here. Our water catchment is slowly drying up (58.3%) but there are bouts of showers which are keeping the gardens green. See if you can work that out?

Here in Western New York, we finally got a decent rain. My rain gauge registered 1.03 inch between Saturday night and Sunday. However, I must add here that our precipitation deficit for the year is still a big 3.32 inches below normal. Also, it's been quite awhile since we've gotten an inch or more from a single rainfall... at least according to my rain gauge, which I keep very close track of. I can remember when it would register easily one, perhaps even two inches or more from a single weather system or a thunderstorm coming through. It's been a long time since it has recorded that much at one time. Also, to the best of my knowledge, we just don't seem to be getting thunderstorms the way that we used to during the summer. No real long, steady heavy downpours with over an inch or more for quite some time. It seems that most of the time a strong storm builds up, heavy spraying takes place ahead of it, and the storms just seem to fizzle out. I've seen this happen quite frequently this past summer and during the summer of 2002, which was when I first became aware of the ct's. During the summer, when the weather systems slow down, most of our rain here comes from thunderstorms. This past dry summer has contributed to our yearly precipitation shortfall, which now stands at 3.32 inches below normal.

Amber, I can't think of a wiser and better purchase in these troubled times than a rain gauge. It will give you a much better feeling as to what exactly is going on with the precipitation, and the overall spraying, in your own particular area and region. To me, it has become a whole new set of eyes and ears on this entire situation, especially since I don't have the same trust and confidence in our local forecasters that I used to have. And good rain gauges are not expensive. 
Also, thanks for the cross reference. I strongly believe that the ct's and the unusual heat waves now taking place around the planet are definately related. And on a related note, I find the huge and now totally out of control forest and brush fires taking place in California very disturbing and alarming, especially when observed form the OVERALL perspective of the satellite images. Not good!

With the two systems that came through our area and gave us a wet weekend, my rain gauge registered 1.48 inches total from all of this. However, overall precipitation for the year is now at 3.29 inches BELOW normal.
Precipitation data for Rochester, New York:
Total rainfall for October... 1.90 inches.
Normal for October... 2.51 inches.
Precipitation for the year to date... 25.03 inches
Normal for the year to date... 28.32 inches
Precipitation for the year to date is 3.29 inches BELOW normal
Heavy spraying last night that ended shortly after sunrise, then spotty on/off spraying all day, and LOTS of drift-over aerosol clouds.

A weather system came through over the weekend and gave us some rain:
My rain gauge data from the storm... 1.01 inch
Official Rainfall data from the storm... 0.87 inch
Yearly precipitation for Rochester N.Y. ... 3.22 inches BELOW normal.
Aerosol activity over our region has been heavy.

Martin says it's been torrential in Singapore lately..and near by indonesia is suffering too:
Jakarta targets illegal loggers, flood toll hits 100
JAKARTA -- The death toll from a flash flood close to an orangutan reserve in western Indonesia hit 101 on Thursday as the government promised to punish illegal loggers held responsible for the disaster.
WHO'S DOING
THE LOGGING?
THE Jakarta government is pointing a finger at illegal loggers but residents in the flood area say that another possible cause of the destruction is the government's clearing of hundreds of trees for the construction of a major highway from neighbouring Central Aceh district, about 200km from Bukit Lawang.
Local officials said that hundreds of thousands logs had been blocking a waterway in the upper reaches of the mountains, and came crashing down into the valley when the water pressure became too great.
Massive logging disrupts the natural absorption and flow of rainwater from the highlands, triggering floods and landslides.
Sumatran Orangutan Society:
Bohorok Centre
At least 146 other people are reported missing and feared dead as a result of the flood on Sunday, which sent thousands of logs and water crashing down on Bukit Lawang village in north Sumatra, said provincial spokesman Edi Sofyan.
But officials have cautioned that the missing figure could be inflated, saying it is likely that some people on the list had left the area before the flood.
Rescuers and villagers on Thursday continued the search for corpses in the village, whose location on the edge of a national park and close to an orangutan reserve draws backpackers from around the world.
Tourism has been the mainstay of Bukit Lawang since the orangutan reserve was established more than 20 years ago. The village is one of Sumatra's most visited tourist resorts.
Mr Sofyan said the search would be called off in 'a week's time' and that those still missing would be declared dead.
One Singaporean was among five tourists who died in the flood.
Government officials have blamed widespread illegal logging on mountain slopes high above Bukit Lawang for the flooding, the latest in a series of similar disasters across Indonesia.
Vice-President Hamzah Haz said he had ordered police to take action against the loggers, many of whom are alleged to have links to elements of either the police and military themselves.
'This is no longer just about money, this is about life,' he was quoted in Media Indonesia daily as saying.
On Wednesday, Environment Minister Nabiel Makarim labeled illegal loggers as 'terrorists' and said 'it is extremely difficult to prosecute them because we are dealing with corrupt officials and business people'. -- AP
