i'm showing about 1.4" (3.6cm) of new rainfall overnight here at the very top of mcleod ganj. that's now more than 4" (10.2cm) since all this started up on saturday afternoon. will post our official temple measurements when they come in later this morning. rain continues to fall at 6am, with a temp of 17c/62f.
**UPDATE** the official rainfall (measured between the temple and chonor house) as of 7:15am is 1.65" (4.2cm)
unless something very surprising happens, it looks like we are in line for a lot more rain today. the satellite pics are showing a very large upper-level disturbance continuing to move very slowly from east to west... from western tibet, across northern india into pakistan. deep tropical moisture is getting sucked up against the mountains, lifted high into the atmosphere, and dumped out on top of us. this morning's computer model guidance is now keeping this thing in our neighborhood through wednesday... then indicating dwindling rain chances on thursday into the weekend. we may get some short breaks during the next 36 hours or so, but expect an additional 3-5" (8-13cm) of rain by tomorrow evening...
