*HAPPENING NOW*

9:05pm... it's really windy up here, but the rain has stopped for the moment.  temp has risen back up to 75.7F (24.3C).  my total rainfall for the day is 0.23" (6mm).

8:33pm... just checked the rain gauge and am very surprised (and happy) to see 0.19" (5mm) has accumulated during the last hour and a half or so.  more than i expected.  still some light rain falling... but things seem to have calmed down for now.

7:55pm... the rain is still light, but gusty winds continue, along with occasional thunder and lightning.  my temp has dropped to 68F (20C).  the coolest up here in exactly one week.

7:32pm... natural air conditioning.  a very large area of thundershowers continues to develop to our northwest, moving into the western half of himachal pradesh.  i have light rain, occasional thunder and lightning and wind gusts of 45mph (72kph) here.  no power at the moment.
