We really made a run for it during the last four days of July.
- Total rainfall between the 28th and the 31st amounted to 7.92" (20.1cm), which was the greatest 4-day total of the season.
- The total for the final week of the month was 11.96" (30.4cm), which is actually well above normal for the middle of monsoon season.
- The month of July ended with a grand total of 31.61" (80.3cm). That is about 7.5" (19.1cm) less than average, or 81% of normal. Considering the fact that the majority of northwest India is running just 65-70% of normal, we're doing much better than most. That is, of course, thanks to our elevation and the Dhauladar thunder machine factor.
I'm on my way out of India, due to visa/immigration requirements, so regular forecasts won't be available for the next several weeks. If you have observations, reports, or other comments, I am always happy to receive them. You can either post in the comments section here on the blog, on our facebook page, or email me here. Wherever you are in the Dharamsala metro area :-), I'd love to hear from you.
