monday morning>

our "less wet" sunday certainly turned "more wet" around sunset... a period of very heavy rainfall delivered the following totals during the evening hours:
-near main temple... 1.60" (4.1cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 0.75" (1.9cm)
-naddi village... 1.93" (4.9cm)

this morning, we're waking up to cloudy skies with patches of fog and a few sprinkles around. the temp here at the weathergeek office is 18C/64F. there was a bit of light rain overnight, and i have a fresh 0.08" (2mm) in my rain gauge.

the satellite pics are showing lots of cloud cover across himachal pradesh... and some colder cloud tops indicate that there are some areas of light rain as well. this morning's computer model guidance is generally consistent with the same trends as before... indicating a gradual turn to more consistently rainy weather as we progress through the new week. we'll easily pick up 5-6" (12-15cm) of rain during the next 4-5 days...
