mostly cloudy and 17C/62F just after 6am. finally... a quiet night. i have less than .05" (1.5mm) in my rain gauge this morning... just left over sprinkles from the huge rains yesterday afternoon and evening. dharamkot/tushita road is now virtually impassable for cars and trucks, and word has it that people with vehicles in naddi are stuck there, thanks to recently washed out roads.
we'll have occasional glimpses of sunshine again today... but clouds and fog will thicken up again as the day wears on, leading to the likelihood of more rain and thunder. however, each day this week, rainfall coverage and intensity will diminish, as will the humidity levels. we are looking at the first serious retreat of monsoon conditions in more than a month, especially by thursday and friday. as mentioned before, this doesn't mean that the monsoon is OVER, but late august is typically the time when the persistent saturated conditions ease up a bit. there will still be plenty of rain between now and mid-september, but also more breaks in between...
MONDAY: on and off glimpses of sunshine this morning. but... more clouds and fog will lead to rain and thunderstorms again, mainly this PM.
high: 22C (72F)
MONDAY NIGHT: good chance of showers and thundershowers before midnight, otherwise partly to mostly cloudy.
low: 17C (63F)
TUESDAY: a mix of clouds, sun and fog, with occasional showers and possibly a thundershower.
high: 23C (73F)
WEDNESDAY: a mix of clouds, fog and sun again. warmer, with still a good chance of a few thundershowers.
high: 23C (74F)
THURSDAY: a good amount of sun... but increasing clouds and some fog in the PM, along with a couple of random showers. pleasantly warm.
high: 24C (75F)
FRIDAY: partly sunny skies and warmer. an isolated PM thundershower possible.
high: 25C (77F)
