the last 24 hours have been the wettest of the monsoon season thus far. here are the totals from yesterday afternoon through this afternoon:
-near main temple... 6.15" (15.6cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 4.47" (11.35cm)
-naddi village... 3.94" (10cm)
the rain stopped around 1pm... and it has been mostly dry for the last several hours. we had a high temp of 20C/68F here in upper mcleod ganj.
i've received a few reports of washed out roads around the area... but that is to be expected during this point in the monsoon season. we're nearing 60" (152cm) of rainfall since the first of july, and that amount of water starts to take its toll. unfortunately, rain chances remain high for the next few days. although we're in the midst of a break in the action at the moment, more rain could develop overnight, and especially on saturday. it's likely that we'll pick up another few inches between now and monday... but then there are indications that rainfall coverage and intensity will ease up during the first part of next week...
