positive signs... (pm.16.sep.12>)

Looking over the weather charts this evening (from the southwestern coast of Cambodia), I see that there will be a fairly strong upper-level disturbance sweeping through the area from the west during the coming 3-4 days.  In its wake, some of the driest air in the past 3 months will be moving into northwest India... by Friday and Saturday.  This is the first tangible sign of a significant retreat of tropical moisture and monsoon conditions for the Dharamsala area this season.

The India Met Department won't be declaring the demise of Monsoon 2012 during the coming several days, but it does look like we are getting close to the end....
