our friday is ending very pleasantly... with mostly cloudy skies, a little fog, and very pleasant temps. the high today was just 20.5C/69F... and after our heavy rainfall overnight, we just picked up about a tenth of an inch of rain (both near the temple and below tushita), due to some light rain and drizzle throughout the morning and early afternoon hours. rainfall for the month of august now stands at 8.1" (20.6cm) near the main temple, and 8.75" (22.2cm) at the weathergeek office in upper mcleod ganj.
i'm a little apprehensive to say it, but we may be in for a stretch of drier weather from tonight into early sunday. it appears that we may be into a little gap between monsoon surges... and could actually get by with only a few scattered showers before the next onslaught arrives late in the weekend. we could actually see a few periods of sunshine both tomorrow and sunday, with temps warming a bit and humidity briefly dropping. but of course, with nearly 6 weeks left of the monsoon season, more heavy rains are on the way, and will probably dominate the first part of the new week...
