monday morning>

partly cloudy skies and 19c/67f before sunrise on this monday morning. despite all the ugly clouds and the wind last evening, significant rainfall was hard to come by. we'll try for another shot later today... deep moisture just to our south and southeast, and a northwest flow in the upper atmosphere will team up to produce a few storms as we move into the afternoon hours. the satellite pic this morning shows monsoon conditions advancing into southeast rajasthan and central UP, as well as parts of nepal and uttar anchal. we have now come to the "normal" date for official monsoon onset in the dharamsala area (28-29 june)... but we may yet have to wait another few days. people sometimes ask, "how do you KNOW the monsoon has arrived?"... and i always say, "don't worry, you'll know".!!
