mostly cloudy skies, very little fog, and 17C/63F early this morning. there was some light rain overnight, but i only have 0.12" (3mm) in my rain gauge... a far cry from what was happening this time yesterday morning. for the month of august, our observers near the main temple have recorded 32.5" (82.6cm). here in upper mcleod ganj, just below the mountaineering center, my august total thus far is 29.1" (73.9cm). these totals are already slightly above what we recorded during the entire month of july!
we may actually see some peeks of sun before the clouds and fog thicken up by mid-morning... and then the rain chances will be on the rise once again. we are still in a very wet pattern, at least for the next 2-3 days, with a few hours of rain likely here and there, along with a good potential for more heavy downpours. after that, there are some encouraging signs that monsoon moisture may retreat a bit. not to say that the monsoon is nearing its end... that won't happen for about 3 more weeks... but it does appear that we may be in for a break in the incessant rains by tuesday and wednesday. we've now had measurable rain EVERY DAY since 23 july. temperatures should gradually moderate into the middle of next week...
