-near main temple... 1.35" (3.4cm)
-upper mcleod ganj... 1.40" (3.55cm)
-naddi village... 1.02" (2.6cm)
a BIG THANK YOU to my trusty rainfall observers.
we are definitely stuck on auto-pilot... there are very few changes evident in the weather pattern... right through the weekend and into early next week. tons of available tropical moisture, along with a "train" of upper-level disturbances drifting across the mountains will keep occasional periods of rain in the forecast day after day. if we're lucky, we'll see a glimmer of sunshine in between the thick clouds and fog, but any bright spots will be very short-lived. rainfall during the past week or so has been AVERAGING about 1.6" (over 4cm) PER DAY... and there is no indication that that rate will diminish in the near future. although the rain recently has been more light-moderate and steady, we can't rule out the occasional blast of heavier rain...
