Well... it was another one of those classic McLeod Ganj days that featured seductive sunshine until mid-day, and then the development of clouds and mountain thundershowers in the afternoon to spoil the mood. Even though we had that period of showers, very small hail, gusty winds and thunder off-and-on for a little more than an hour in the 3:00-4:00pm range, the actual rainfall amount was very small at my location here in the upper part of town. Then... rapid clearing occurred as the evening set in.
The temperature trend this month has been generally upward, even though we've had some significant set-backs in the midst of it. That scenario will continue as we progress through the coming week or so, with that almost ever-present risk of a random thundershower, and an even more significant chance of rain coming in between late Tuesday and late Wednesday. Holi is on Thursday, coinciding this year with the Spring Equinox -- and there is evidence that those events could mark a noticeable turn toward a more favorable springtime weather pattern. We shall see if that outlook holds.
