saturday evening>

it has been a cloudy, foggy and rainy saturday... with a high temp of only 20C/68F in upper mcleod ganj. we've had occasional light rain showers for much of the day, but so far, it seems that the tally has been only around .25" (6mm)... but it is still raining, so i'll give a rainfall update later this evening, both from upper and lower mcleod ganj.

huge thunderstorms with heavy rains have passed by to our south today... from eastern UP, across the delhi ncr, and into rajasthan. we've had lots of scattered showers along the foothills of the mountains throughout himachal pradesh... and they will continue during the evening hours. expect more of the same for the next few days, with the ever-present potential of heavy downpours, on either side of brief periods of sunshine. currently it looks like wednesday could be the wettest day of the coming week... with computer models dumping out lots of latent moisture right on top of us. that's a bit far away... but it bears watching. also, keep an eye on this space for detailed july statistics tomorrow morning!!
