we have clear skies at the break of dawn this morning. the humidity is a low low 39%, and our overnight low temp has been 59F (15C).
i've now logged 19 days in a row without measurable rainfall... and as i dug through records since the start of 2011, i see that we've had no other such streak of dry weather this entire year. the closest i can find is 11 days without measurable rain back at the end of april. so... things have definitely dramatically changed this month, and now we find ourselves in a position where some rainfall would actually be happily welcomed.
the overall weather pattern will be quite complex during the next several days, with a very active upper-air pattern bringing in a few disturbances. obviously, moisture is extremely limited, so it remains doubtful that we'll get much in the way of significant rainfall here in mcleod ganj... stay tuned for updates/changes on that. however, it still appears that between now and sunday, there could be at least a couple of rounds of rain and snow showers, with thunder and hail as well, higher up in the mountains. as i've been mentioning repeatedly, be prepared for anything if you'll be trekking, camping or crossing passes this weekend!
