tuesday evening>

after our mammoth rains last night and again early this morning, it has been dry today (so far). we have thick fog and clouds just before sunset... and the high temp in upper mcleod ganj has been 20.5C/69F.

there is nothing too menacing showing up on the satellite pics at the moment, but we have a totally saturated airmass, and there are weak disturbances visible in the upper-air flow. that means the next round of rain and thunder could materialize at any time. our volatile weather situation will remain in place right through this week, with periods of rain likely... and some of it will be heavy. there will also be a glimpse of sun here and there, but clouds and fog will dominate... assuring us that we are indeed still firmly in the grips of the mighty 2010 monsoon season. i will have detailed stats for the month of august later tonight or tomorrow morning. the rainfall total near the main temple is already in excess of 40" (102cm)...
