Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 60.6F (15.9C)
High temp: 74.7F (23.7C)
Rainfall: 1.00" (2.5cm) -- updated @ 8:00pm
We've broken our nearly week-long mid-monsoon drought with a period of moderate to heavy rain showers early this evening. There were a few sprinkles and brief light showers developing around the area as early as 2:00pm, but it wasn't until about 5:05pm that the sky really opened up. That heavier rain only lasted about 30-40 minutes, but it was the most significant dumping in McLeod proper in at least a week. I'll check the rain gauge later this evening and post the exact amount received. There are some lingering light showers at the time of this writing, with the clouds breaking up a bit.
I still have no appreciable shift in the overall weather pattern to report. Today we happened to find ourselves the recipients of some impressive rain shower action, but the development of that activity here along the front slopes of the mountains (from Himachal through Uttarakhand and into western Nepal) has been very random the last several days. We'll have to be prepared for a downpour each and every day, especially during the afternoon/early evening hours, but there will be many more dry hours than wet ones.
We'll also be able to come up with some sunshine on a daily basis as well -- along with the periods of clouds and fog -- all the way through the 5-7 day forecast period...
