Friday's stats:
Low temp: 60.8F (16.0C)
High temp: 73.0F (22.8C)
Rainfall: 0.90" (2.3cm)
We're in the fog again this evening, but we had partly cloudy skies for much of the day, with an inordinate amount of sunshine for the latter part of July. In fact, the humidity dropped as low as 71% during the mid-day hours -- but it's back near 100% again this evening, as evidenced by the fog. As far as I'm aware, there has been no rainfall since the healthy showers late last night into the very early morning hours.
Total rainfall for the month of July at my location on Tushita Road just below the Mountaineering Center now stands at 23.63" (60cm). Average July rainfall is 37.8" (95.9cm), so you can see that we've got a lot of making up to do, if we're going to reach that amount. Anything is possible, but I think it's going to be a tall order to come up with more than 14" (35.6cm) of rain in the next five days. Further downhill in the Dharamsala area, they aren't running so far behind, so they should be able to end the month fairly close to normal.
It still looks like more typical monsoon conditions will be developing again during the next couple of days, with an increasing likelihood of some widespread heavy rainfall as we move into the first half of the new week. We're getting more than a little spoiled right now, and I sense that a serious reality check is not too far in our future...
