cloudy, foggy, drizzly and cool this evening... after a major day of rain. the rain gauges on either end of mcleod ganj were in perfect agreement, logging 3.2" (8.1cm) since late last night. we've now topped 27" (68cm) for the month of july! it was nice to get a brief glimmer of sunshine in the mid-afternoon, which helped our high temp struggle to 20c/68f.
i'm afraid i have no good news for you, if you're waiting for some drier weather. we are deeply embedded in an intense phase of the monsoon... and that will keep periods of rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future. there are still indications that we could get a bit of a break, perhaps on thursday, with more dry hours between bouts of wetness... but each and every day right into the weekend hold the potential for measurable rainfall. the various computer models that provide guidance are all pointing to additional rainfall of 4-6" (10-15cm) during the coming 5 day forecast period. if it's not raining, we'll have plenty of clouds and fog, with not nearly enough sunshine to dry things out...
