totally cloudy and foggy just before sunset this evening. once again, we had sunshine in the morning, a mix of sun and clouds during the mid-day, and then lots of clouds and some fog after about 330-400pm. today's high temp in upper mcleod ganj was a cooler-than-expected 19.6C/67.3F.
today is the 5th day in a row without measurable rain here in mcleod ganj (and across most of himachal pradesh)... so the india met department has indeed declared the official withdrawal of the monsoon. the last time we had 5 days back-to-back without measurable rain was 12-16 may, believe it or not! looking ahead... there is nothing new to report. an upper-level disturbance is moving into kashmir at the moment, but should remain far enough north of us to prevent any showers here. we will continue to see sunny mornings, with variable amounts of afternoon clouds and a bit of fog... right into early next week. there is at least a mentionable chance of a shower or two sunday and/or monday, but nothing very significant. temperatures have been slightly cooler than i've been forecasting, so i will shave those down a little...
