monday evening>

rainy days and mondays...? after fairly steady rain from 10am until about 430pm, we've come up with a very consistent total across mcleod ganj... 0.95" (2.4cm) near the temple, and 0.90" (2.3cm) just below the mountaineering center and tushita. that brings the official total since saturday afternoon up to about 3" (7.6cm). temperatures have moved little all day, remaining near 18-19C / 64-67F.

we're in the midst of a little break this evening... but the satellite photos show a strong flow from the east in the upper atmosphere, carrying another batch of rain which will move into the area later tonight, as long as it holds together. honestly, there is very little hope of any extended periods of dry weather right through the next 5 days. all computer models are showing surge after surge of tropical moisture moving in from southeast to northwest across the area... each of which could bring us a period of moderate to heavy rainfall. the best we can hope for is possibly a 12-18 hour break in the rain around mid-week... and then again on saturday. we're in the thick of monsoon 2010... no escaping it.
