Apart from the measurement on the 1st of the month (that was mine), my neighbor, Tom, has been monitoring the rain gauge and conducting monkey security operations.  Thanks, Tom!!

The increasingly consistent heavy rainfall since the 25th of the month has taken us above 10 inches, and above normal for the month of June.

We have no official declaration of MONSOON 2014 here in McLeod Ganj just yet, but it's clear that our transition into the season is well underway.
