**UPDATE FYI** major flooding in delhi this evening. traffic tied up, 2-3 feet of water in some streets.
we've had MUCH less rain today than expected... an area of showers and thundershowers developed near dharamsala early this morning, then grew and grew and grew and grew... as it drifted toward the southwest. currently, there is a huge area of rain and thunderstorms covering eastern punjab, southern himachal pradesh, and extending into western uttar anchal. it continues to drift to the south, away from us. all we've had here is a few periods of sprinkles and light rain... barely measurable. due to the thick clouds and fog for most of the day, the high temp only reached 19.5C/67F... one of the coolest days of the monsoon season.
but, rain lovers, never fear... we are definitely in a WET pattern for the next several days, so the next round of heavy rainfall won't be too far away. the atmosphere remains as saturated as it can get, and there will be a series of upper level disturbances in the upper atmosphere drifting through, especially between now and saturday. any glimpses of sunshine will be very fleeting, so temps will remain quite cool...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: mostly cloudy and foggy with a good chance of off and on rainshowers. a thunderstorm is also possible.
low: 17C (63F)
THURSDAY: lots of clouds and fog, with periods of rain likely. still cool...
high: 20C (68F)
