Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 66.4F (19.1C)
High temp: 70.3F (21.3C)
Rainfall: 0.56" (1.4cm) -- updated at 7:30pm
Things are finally starting to look and feel the way they're supposed to look and feel at the tail-end of July. Deep tropical moisture has again pushed up against the front ranges of the mountains, all the way from northern Pakistan and northern India into Nepal, leading to the development of widespread fog and some more persistent rain showers. We started getting some light rain and drizzle around noon, and have had steady, moderate rain for a couple of hours late this afternoon. Humidity has remained very close to 100% throughout the day.
This latest surge of genuine monsoon conditions is just getting started. More and more moisture-laden air is going to be flowing into Himachal during the coming few days, and computer model data is consistent in painting a very wet picture for us as we close out the month of July and turn the page to August. There are signs that we could be in for some of the heaviest rainfall amounts of the season so far, especially as we get into the middle of the coming week. It may be too little, too late, in order to bring us up to normal for July, but there is a remote chance that we could catch up. Stay tuned!
I wanted to thank those of you who've voted on our monsoon poll (right column of page) -- it's actually quite a surprise to me that the results are fairly uniform across the board. In fact, among those who have voted, it seems that monsoon lovers may slightly outnumber the haters(?) Share your opinion, if you haven't done so already.
