it's been a gloomy monday... lots of clouds and fog all day, with quite a bit of rainshower action. as of 520pm, here are the totals:
-near main temple... 0.60" (1.5cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 0.50" (1.3cm)
-naddi village... 0.63" (1.6cm)
at the time of this writing, rain is falling again, and quite heavily... so these totals will be updated later in the evening. the high temp this afternoon was 20.5C/69F.
**UPDATE @ 600pm... western union office in main square, mcleod ganj is flooded. overflow coming down from TIPA road is backed up...
it does look like we are in for a very rainy week. conditions are aligning to deliver perhaps some of the heaviest rainfall of the monsoon season during the next 4-5 days. the occasional showers we've had recently will turn into more consistent, persistent rains as we move toward the middle of the week, as deep tropical moisture teams up with a series of disturbances drifting from east to west in the upper atmosphere. it still looks like the best potential for heavy rains will occur on wednesday and thursday. typical of this time of year, temperatures will show little variation between day and night, and from day to day...
MONDAY NIGHT: heavy showers ending... but more occasional showers possible overnight. otherwise mostly cloudy and foggy.
low: 18C (64F)
TUESDAY: brief peeks of sunshine in the early AM, otherwise mostly cloudy and foggy with periods of rain likely.

WEDNESDAY: cloudy and foggy with periods of rain... heavy rainfall likely.

THURSDAY: rain, occasionally heavy. otherwise cloudy, foggy and cool.

FRIDAY: a peek or two of sun?? otherwise mostly cloudy and foggy with occasional showers.
high: 21C (69F)
SATURDAY: a little sunshine between clouds and fog. off and on showers likely.
