On Tushita Road just below the mountaineering center, the total rainfall recorded for the month of June was 19.63" (49.9cm). That is more than double the normal amount for June, thanks to this year's first surge of monsoon conditions which occurred about two weeks ahead of schedule.
There have already been a couple of significant retreats/respites since the monsoon onset was officially declared, but July and August are the wettest months of the year, with more than 30" (76cm) normally occurring during each of those months. We could be in for a very long haul this year...
