we seem to be into the pattern of endless variety... scattered showers and thundershowers dominated the morning hours, bringing 0.15" (3mm) of rain to upper mcleod ganj, and just 0.05" (1mm) near the main temple. THEN, the clouds cleared out and we enjoyed a couple of hours of sunshine unlike we've seen for 6 weeks or so during the mid-afternoon. our official high temp at the weathergeek office was 21C (70F).
i'm already hearing people around town declare that the monsoon is OVER. that is definitely not the case, but we are going to enjoy a few days of drier, warmer and sunnier weather. that deep saturation that causes wall-to-wall fog has been chased well to our south and east for the time being... so although there will still be a few scattered showers here and there, the humidity levels are going to be MUCH lower, and the fog will be very scarce. a couple of our computer models are still forecasting ZERO rainfall from now through saturday. BUT, be warned... starting on sunday, the tropical moisture will begin to stream back in, and we will enter what could be our last major phase of this monsoon season...
