plenty of variety, weather-wise, across the area today. there were a few glimpses of sunshine, periods of super-thick fog and clouds, and a couple of rounds of showers (and thunder) which delivered vastly different amounts of rain between upper and lower mcleod ganj. i recorded 1.30" (3.3cm) at the top of town, just below tushita and the mountaineering center. most of that fell in about a half-hour's time! but our official observers near the temple only picked up 0.30" (0.8cm). that indicates how RANDOM rainfall can be when we have convective showers and thundershowers popping up. the high this afternoon was warmer than it's been recently... 23C / 73.6F.
i am tempted to "copy and paste" the forecast for the next several days. we are in a rather non-descript kind of pattern, that will be dominated by the presence of very deep and thick tropical moisture getting lifted and condensed out in the form of scattered showers and thundershowers... mainly during the afternoon and overnight hours. there is no major upper-level system moving through, thus, no organized, long-lasting, persistent, steady rainfall is expected. but the irony is this... there could be bursts of very heavy rain at any time... and there will also be periods of refreshing sunshine. temperatures will be coolish, but it will feel quite warm and muggy when the sun pops out. be prepared for it all...
