thursday morning>

mostly cloudy and a mild 19c/66f just before 6am. we've had off and on light rain throughout the night, but my rain gauge is only showing about 0.10" (3mm). that give us a total of only 0.50" (1.3cm) since tuesday evening... nice to get a little break in the action.

this morning satellite pics are showing that most of the concentrated areas of heavier rain have shifted westward into pakistan, and are weakening. we have scattered clouds and very light rain showers across himachal pradesh, but nothing particularly menacing at the moment. the overall pattern is changing, which will bring us more "showery" type rain, with even a chance of some thundershowers as we move toward the weekend. some locally heavy rainfall will be possible over the next few days, but the rain will be more of the scattered or "off and on" variety, interspersed with a few periods of sunshine here and there. actually, beware of the sunny moments... if you are tempted to hang out your washing/laundry, be prepared to gather it back quickly in the event of a sudden thundershower.!
