saturday evening>

it's mostly cloudy and foggy this evening, after a couple of periods of moderate to heavy showers today. the high temp in upper mcleod ganj was near 20C/68F. rainfall totals for the day show quite a variety, and are as follows:

-near main temple... 0.80" (2cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 0.52" (1.3cm)
-naddi village... 0.26" (0.65cm)

other than a random shower or two, i'm not expecting much action overnight. most of the rain lately has been of the shower variety... fueled by the heating of the daytime sun... which will die out as the sun sets. tomorrow (sunday) and monday will be similar to today, with random showers during the mid-day and afternoon hours... but we could see more in the way of widespread, persistent rains by the middle of the week. monsoon rainfall for 2010 is running near to slightly above normal across most of northern india, according to the india meteorological department.
