thursday evening>

no sunshine at all today... with a high of only 19C/67F. i haven't received a rainfall report from near the temple yet this evening, nor have i had a chance to check my rain gauge... so the precip report will be added later. rain has been occasional, and quite light throughout the day, but it seems to be picking up a bit this evening... and the satellite pics are showing a good amount of ominous-looking weather headed in our direction.

**UPDATE** rainfall totals as of 735pm:
-upper mcleod ganj... 0.70" (1.8cm)
-near main temple... 0.75" (1.9cm)

there are three different sources i check twice a day for computer model guidance. two out of those three are pointing to a drying trend from mid-friday through sunday. the third (and possibly most consistent) is indicating that the recent pattern of daily moderate rainfall accumulation will continue for the next several days. at this point, i guess i tend to agree with the more pessimistic outlook... considering how wet it has been recently. we may see some lower daily amounts of rain over the weekend, but i don't think we're going to get an entire 24 hours of dry weather in the near future. a few peeks of sun may occur over the weekend though, and would be welcomed!
