sunday evening>

our sunday is ending with mostly cloudy skies and a lot of fog. we only had a few sprinkles of rain during the mid-afternoon... so our total rainfall for the past 7 days is just 1.34" (3.4cm) in upper mcleod ganj, making this the DRIEST 7 day period since the monsoon began. today's high temp was 23C/73F.

the satellite pics this evening show nothing but clouds and fog clinging to the mountains... the upper atmosphere is absolutely deadly stable... preventing anything more than a few very light rainshowers from developing. there are still strong indications that our recent dry weather will be coming to an end soon. some disturbances and pools of cooler air aloft will stir up an increasing amount of shower and thundershower activity as we move through the coming week. some glimpses of mainly morning sunshine will remain likely for the next couple of days, but even that may disappear by the latter part of the week. this time of year, the rainless days can't last for long...

low: 17C (63F)
