tuesday evening>

well things have certainly turned around during the past 24 hours or so. we've had off and on rainshowers (and some thunder) for much of the day... and i have 0.50" (1.3cm) as of 5pm. the measurement near the main temple for today is 1.35" (3.4cm) so far.... and that can be added to more than 2.50" (6.4cm) since yesterday evening. the high this afternoon in upper mcleod ganj was 20.5C (69F).

the forecast can pretty much be summed up in 2 words: INCREASINGLY RAINY. our monsoon "intermission" which lasted from friday into monday morning has passed, and all indications are pointing to an increase in the frequency and quantity of rainfall as we move into the latter half of the week. it is possible that we could see some of the heaviest rains of this monsoon season on friday into saturday. be aware of the increasing potential of landslides and road washouts, which are often a by-product of prolonged periods of heavy rainfall...

low: 17C (63F)

WEDNESDAY: mostly cloudy skies, foggy... with periods of showers and thundershowers likely again.
