Monday's stats:
Low temp: 63.0F (17.2C)
High temp: 67.3F (19.6C)
Rainfall: 0.73" (1.9cm) -- as of 9pm
The clouds and fog are as thick this evening as they've been this entire monsoon season thus far. We've had another day of mostly cloudy skies, periods of fog, and occasional mainly light to moderate rain. This morning's huge area of rain and thunder only brushed us here in McLeod, but I am hearing of much heavier rainfall not far downhill from us.
Although we've had only a couple of very brief and fleeting glimpses of sun, lots of clouds and fog, and extended hours of light to moderate rain and drizzle since about the middle of last week, the really, truly heavy rainfall has eluded us here in the immediate McLeod Ganj area. I was almost certain that we would have received at least double the rainfall amounts of the past five or six days, and that we'd have very little trouble ending the month of July with at least the normal/average amount for this wettest month of the year on average. But -- I still need 8-9" (20-23cm) in my rain gauge during the the next 78 hours or so. A tall order.
It's not impossible, though, as it would only take a couple of major mid-monsoon downpours to accomplish that feat. This air mass is capable of producing that kind of rainfall, so let's see what happens between now and Thursday at midnight. Otherwise, we can expect more of the same thing we've grown accustomed to as we head into August.
