it's a cool 16.5C/61.5F shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. rain has been falling all night, and continues to fall. my rain gauge is showing about 1.1" (2.8cm) overnight, which gives a total of 1.8" (4.6cm) in the past 24 hours. the satellite photos this morning are showing a large disturbance moving westward from kashmir and himachal pradesh into western pakistan.
**RAINFALL UPDATE** (overnight, up to 730am)
-near main temple... 1.40" (3.6cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 1.20" (3cm)
more disturbed weather is spinning in our direction from western parts of tibet, tapping the tropical moisture waiting on this side of the mountains, and will keep off and on rain in the forecast today. there is a chance that we could get some clearing at some point, but don't hold your breath. there is a better chance of partial clearing and some drier weather over the weekend, as computer models are pointing to a short pause in the active flow of tropical instability. but then rain chances appear to be on the rise again for late sunday into early next week. unless we get a couple of hours of sunshine, temps are going to stay rather cool for the next few days...
