the southwestern sky is mainly clear at sunset this evening, but there are lots of clouds over the mountains to the north and east. we had a brief thundershower, at least in the upper part of town, between 4:30 and 5:00pm, but it didn't produce enough rain to overcome the pollen, dust and cobwebs in my rain gauge. i recorded a high temp of 69.8F (21.0C) this afternoon.
according to my records, this afternoon's raindrops were the first in 12 days, and we're now going on 20 days since there has been enough rain to measure. there was also a fresh dusting of snow on the peaks just above town this afternoon. the weather pattern is changing, and will be more active than it's been in a few weeks as we progress through the weekend. right now, it appears that the most significant rain and snow will remain to our north, over kashmir, and perhaps extreme northern parts of himachal, but scattered rain and snow showers, along with some thunder and small hail, are likely in the mountains through sunday.
it still looks like we'll escape the best chances for significant rainfall here in mcleod ganj, but a couple of periods of thundershowers are still a good bet during the coming 48 hours or so. if we do catch a decent bout of rain, temperatures are going to cool off considerably...
