light to moderate rain is falling in mcleod ganj this evening. we've had off and on showers since about 9am, but there has been nothing heavy today.... totals have been generally less than 1/3" (8mm) thus far. totals for the day will be posted later tonight. despite a couple of brief peeks of sunshine, the maximum temp in upper mcleod ganj was just 20C/68F.
**UPDATE @927pm** rainfall today (so far...)
-near main temple... 0.55" (1.4cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 0.45" (1.1cm)
no organized storm systems are evident by looking at the satellite pics this evening... only scattered rainshower activity clinging to the mountains. we are still in a rather dynamic pattern, however, so periods of rain are likely to continue overnight, through tomorrow and monday. there are still strong indications that the monsoon will enter a relatively weak phase, starting late monday and tuesday, and continuing through much of next week. although scattered showers will still occur... i'm expecting an intrusion of drier air which could mean lower humidity, a bit more sunshine, lower average daily rainfall totals, and warmer temps. good news, eh??
