the weathergeek rain gauge is showing an additional 0.70" (1.8cm) overnight, giving a total of 1.2" (3cm) since late yesterday afternoon. my fellow weathergeeks near the temple received 0.80" (2cm) overnight, with a total of 1.65" (4.2cm) in the past 24 hours... evidence of the need for multiple rain gauges around this mountainous terrain (any volunteers??) it is cloudy and foggy early this morning, with a temp of 19c/66f.
the satellite pic this morning is showing a large area of nearly stationary rain with embedded thundershowers covering most of western and southern himachal pradesh. we are dry at the moment, but more rain will either move in, or develop on top of us today. this latest surge of the monsoon has already been rather vigorous (as evidenced by the rain late yesterday and overnight), and will likely deliver some generous rainfall totals during the next 72 hours or so, as several waves of rain move in and out. there is some indication that rain potential will ease up briefly during the middle of the week, but it's hard to see a completely dry day on the horizon. temps will be quite cool, unless we can come up with an hour or more of sunshine somewhere along the way...
