sunday evening>

light rain is falling again this evening... and will add to the total of 2.05" (5.2cm) recorded near the dalai lama's temple since yesterday afternoon. my total at the top of mcleod ganj has reached 1.45" (3.7cm) during that same time period. today's high temp reached only 21c/69f, despite a few minutes of sunshine during the late morning.

it looks like we're in for a significant amount of rain during the next 48 hours or so... and after that, computer models diverge into several conflicting solutions. in the short term, abundant tropical moisture will interact with an increasingly unstable atmosphere to bring us the potential for heavy rains, at least periodically, through tuesday. but there is some indication that drier and more stable air will work its way in for a while during the middle of the week, which should provide us with a short break. then... another wave of moderate to heavy rain could materialize once again around thursday. but this is where our guidance is in disagreement. one thing is for sure> it will be a shocker NOT to reach a total of 30" (76cm) for the month of july...
