our tuesday is ending beautifully, after a day of mostly overcast skies, and a period of rain between 930am and around noon. the high temp in upper mcleod ganj was 21C (69F), with 0.30" (7.6mm) of rain. the rainfall total from near the main temple was 0.25" (6.4mm).
it is quite obvious that we are undergoing a major shift in the weather pattern... the advertised weakening of the monsoon is already evident, and will become more pronounced as we head into the end of the week. we've already had a couple of days without the extensive, thick fog of weeks past, and that's due to dropping humidity levels in all layers of the atmosphere. our computer models remain very consistent with bringing in some much drier, warmer, and more stable air... which WILL tempt us to think that the monsoon is history. don't be fooled!! we will have more high humidity, fog, thick clouds and heavy rainfall before all is said and done around mid-september. but in the meantime, it is gonna be REALLY nice to have a break. enjoy...
