friday morning>

beautiful, fogless morning... some patchy mid-level clouds and a coolish 17C/62F. we didn't get any additional rainfall overnight, but that's OK, considering yesterday's deluge.

the satellite pics are showing relative peace and quiet across our part of the world at the moment... just a couple of clusters of thundershowers along the kashmir/pakistan border. the quiet won't last for long, though... there will be a dramatic and rapid development of rain and thundershower action across northern india by mid-day into the afternoon hours, with more locally heavy rainfall likely in some areas. this same pattern will repeat on a daily basis right into the early part of next week, with only partial days of dry weather expected. our august rainfall total will likely surpass 20" (51cm) by monday or tuesday.

for those of you who have had about as much monsoon as you can handle>> the average date for the departure of monsoon conditions from the dharamsala area is in the range of 12-15 september. only a month to go!
