Friday's stats:
Low temp: 63.0F (17.2C)
High temp: 67.1F (19.5C)
Rainfall since midnight: 3.25" (8.3cm)
- There's been a good amount of sunshine breaking out this evening, with some lingering clouds, along with some random patches of fog further downhill.
- The rainfall total since midnight has been huge (see above), and when we add yesterday's amount -- most of which occurred after about 5:30pm -- we're talking about 4.80" (12.2cm) at my location on Tushita Road in the upper part of town.
- I've received a report of more than 7" (17.8cm) further downhill near Norbulingka, with major flooding of roads during the early morning hours.
- We're running way ahead of the normal pace of rainfall for the month of August.
Computer model moisture profiles are showing a fairly significant retreat of the deepest tropical moisture from Himachal Pradesh starting tomorrow, and lasting maybe through Monday. However, that may only mean a return to mainly afternoon rain/thunder development for us, with some heavy downpours still likely.
Some nice periods of sun will be returning as well, so this weird monsoon season will continue to feature a vast array of extremes...
