the official monsoon onset date was sunday, 4 july. this was approximately 6 days later than the average date. in general, monsoon conditions have been weaker than normal thus far.
keep in mind that official temperatures are observed in upper mcleod ganj, just slightly below the mountaineering center, and 3 minutes walk below tushita. temps in the mountains vary widely... so you will need to add or subtract temps from the weathergeek forecast for your area. a general rule is this:
lower mcleod ganj: +2C (4-5F)
near library: +3C (6-7F)
dharamsala: +5C (10-11F)
lower dharamsala: +7C (13-15F)
dharamkot and naddi: -1C (2F)
bhagsu: +1C (2F)
