monday morning>

mostly cloudy skies, 17C/63F early this morning. well... we made it through the entire weekend with only about 0.20" (5mm) of rain. that is nothing short of miraculous for the middle of the monsoon season. and this morning there is still no evidence of significant widespread rainfall threatening our neighborhood.

the satellite pics DO show a cluster of rain and thundershowers between chandigarh, shimla and dehra dun, but it doesn't appear to be moving in our direction. as has been the case the past couple of days, we'll get a few peeks of sunshine this morning... which will be enough to destabilize the atmosphere and produce some periods of showers and light rain as the day goes on. the risk of heavy downpours exists, and will continue each day this week. as i mentioned before, the heavy showers will be rather "hit and miss", so some areas could pick up a good dumping, while other areas get very little... this is the true nature of tropical showers! temps will stay where they've been for days now... quite pleasant.
