it's interesting to watch the subtle changes as the monsoon moves into its waning phase (i.e., its eventual death !) although we had a rainy afternoon, we had some peeks of sun in the morning, and are now enjoying some evening sunshine... humidity is lower, and there has been very little fog all day. our high temp was 21C/70F, with 0.40" (1cm) of rain reported near the main temple, and 0.60" (1.5cm) at the weathergeek office in upper mcleod ganj.
all indications continue to point toward a period of "nicer" weather as the week progresses. rain potential will continue to diminish day by day, with lower humidity, which will lead to less fog and cloudiness, and an increasing amount of sunshine. in fact, the computer models are suggesting absolutely ZERO precipitation for thursday and friday. that may be a bit extreme... but the point is this: we are in for some drier weather!! bonafide monsoon conditions will definitely return, but in the meantime, enjoy a sneak peek of the kind of weather we will be enjoying consistently by the middle of september...
