it is partly to mostly cloudy across the area at sunset. although there was some thunder during the mid-afternoon, and a fresh dusting of snow up on the mountain peaks, i'm not aware of any raindrops in the immediate mcleod ganj area. i recorded a high temp of 68.9F (20.5C) during the late morning, before the clouds thickened up.
the first real "winter-like" storm of the season is moving through the western himalayas this evening. satellite pics indicate widespread thundershowers, which likely contain both rain and snow, depending on elevation, across northern pakistan into kashmir and mainly northern himachal pradesh. this storm system will slowly work its way through northern india during the coming 24-36 hours, but it still appears that the most signficant rain and snowfall is going to remain just to our north.
here in mcleod, i think our best window of opportunity for a round of thundershowers would be from late tonight through sunday evening. snow has fallen on the dhauladars the past couple of afternoons, and i think there will be yet another round or two (at least) of accumulating snowfall on the passes and peaks. if you have plans to venture above triund on sunday, be prepared!
by monday, we'll start another trend toward dry and sunny weather.... humidity will drop even lower than it has been during this past week.
