Friday's stats:
Low temp: 66.4F (19.1C)
High temp: 80.2F (26.8C)
Rainfall: none
For the first time in 12 days, there was not even a trace of rainfall here in McLeod Ganj -- at least not that I witnessed. We did have a lot of cloudiness to contend with throughout the day, with only occasional mainly filtered sunshine, but I heard no thunder and saw no rain drops... for a change.
A large mass of tropical moisture is gathering to our south, and will be gradually pressing northward over the coming several days. This is going to cause a noticeable increase in humidity for us over the weekend into early next week, and will take us into a genuine pre-monsoon scenario. For all the veterans of our McLeod Ganj monsoon, you know very well that it's the humidity levels and the fog that are the real villains of the season, just as much or moreso than the bouts of moderate to heavy rain which become more frequent and abundant as we press into July. It will be interesting to watch just how high our humidity might go by the time next Tuesday rolls around.
With the much higher moisture content of our air mass by early next week, temperatures will slide -- but it should remain quite warm for another two or three days.
