Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.

"I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would've known from that look on your face
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
The more that you say
The less I know
Wherever you stray
I follow
I'm begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans
That's my man"
A very foggy morning and after significant rainfall. Weeping Rock (the one above Wentworth Falls) is a few minutes' walk from the carpark/picnic area at Wentworth Falls lookout. Using CPL to reduce reflections..

I absolutely love spiderwebs (photographing them, not walking into them - to be clear)... This one was beautifully bejewelled and glistening in the morning sunlight after a couple days of heavy storms battered Victoria. Good to see Charlotte's web still standing!
2019 was one of those record-setting wet springs in the southwest. Spurred by significant rainfall, many desert areas had super blooms of wildflowers. Driving along familiar highway and various other roads, David and I remembered those areas being desolate with little plant life. This time around, we were driving through perfume-laden roads and carpets of yellows and purples surrounded us.
One of such super bloom fields was this stretch of desert sunflowers. Measuring a few inches across, these flowers were some of the larger blooming varietals. Even in the harshest and dry environment flowers find a way to thrive when the conditions are right.

Rain falling into the Pacific Ocean during the late afternoon. We're standing on the west slope of Mount Tamalpais, just north of the Golden Gate entrance to the San Francisco Bay. Our elevation is about 545 meters (1800 feet) above sea level.
It was a cold day and later on, towards evening, one of these rain showers passed directly overhead and briefly dropped first rain, then snow flakes, then sleet.
The remnants of an outflow dominant supercell quickly turning into a shelf cloud. What made this one interesting was the lighting. When the base broke off from the rest of the cell, it allowed the light behind to enter, giving it the backlit look. Doesn't happen too often. Grand Bend, Ontario. July 29th, 2020.
Picture taken moments after heavy rainfall! I was soaking wet from hiking in the rain. But it was great to see the clouds move up...

The mood in the garden after rainfall. Thanks for visiting and for your faving or commenting! 😊🌷
This lower level cloud formed just minutes earlier, as rainfall saturated and cooled the air. I haven't noticed this degree of cloud formation before. Taken 3 July with iPhone 11 Pro Max.
I believe this could be considered a small stratus fractus cloud?
The River Mawddach in Gwynedd, North Wales, has its source in a wide area of Snowdonia. It is 28 miles in length, and many of the significant tributaries are of a similar size to the main river. The catchment area is bounded to the east by the Aran Fawddwy massif and to the west and north by the Harlech dome which forms a watershed just south of Llyn Trawsfynydd. The Mawddach flows into the sea at Barmouth.
The river is prone to very rapid rise and fall in level depending on rainfall. Rainfall can also be very heavy and it falls on very base-poor soils leading to episodes of strongly depressed pH. Despite this, the river sustains an important salmon and trout fishery and the countryside through which it flows is some of the most spectacular and scenic in the UK.

It was a rainy day today, but it's supposed to be beautiful out for the rest of the week.
Tomorrow is Friday! Yay :)
For us November has seen a sudden transition into winter, with regular sub-zero nights, gales blowing the final leaves from the autumn trees, and dark nights starting in the early evening.
It is also a whole year since Storm Arwen destroyed over 16 million trees across Scotland. There are still so many fallen and damaged trees everywhere as we drive along. Like so many people who were without any power or help for a whole week ... we had a solemn day this November 26th, remembering the day when Arwen struck us. And we have been preparing for another rough winter. We have already had 200% of November's usual rainfall in 2 or 3 days over the last week. So maybe floods rather than 100mph winds will define this winter.
Not surprisingly my photography has reflected the changing seasons, with mostly indoors shooting. Bringing autumn colours indoors, shooting in the evenings with curtains closed, and my outdoor cameras confined to early morning drive-by shots. Both the winter cold and the lingering after-effects of the latest Covid and 'flu vaccinations have impacted my energy ... and I am slowing down and resting more. As a youngster I always liked the idea of semi-hibernation for the winter, and it seems that now I am in a position to enjoy it!!
But whatever happens, for me a day without a camera to record something, however trivial, is a day lost. This coming month I have promised myself to set aside my 'go to' big Sony 100mm macro lens, and use mainly just Lensbaby and vintage Helios. A good time to re-acquaint myself with their charms, their quirks, and their possibilities!
Hopefully there will be some winter fun in store for me 😊

This is the "Devil's Throat" at the Iguazu falls. It's is the most massive and impressive of all the falls. The brownish colour of the water is due to heavy rainfall fallen over the area on the day previous to my visit - it turns the water muddier. On the first comment I've put a shot I took on exactly the same spot on a different visit, the colour of the water was completely different.

Esta es la "Garganta del Diablo" en las cataratas de Iguazú. Es la más espectacular de todos los saltos de agua en la región. El color marrón del agua se debe a las fuertes lluvias caÃdas en la región un dÃa antes, que hacen que el rÃo lleve más barro. En el primer comentario he puesto una foto de exactamente el mismo lugar hecho en otra visita a las cataratas, cuando el color era bien diferente.
EN: After heavy rainfall on 7 August 2023 the railway bridge passing the Randklev river at Ringebu collapsed after which the Dovrebanen Trondheim - Oslo was closed until the bridge was repaired. The Dovrebanen is due to be reopened over its full length on 20 May 2024. During the time of closure the freight operators had to detour freight trains via the Rørosbanen Hamar – Røros – Støren. Normally this line is passenger trains only, but in order to create capacity for freight trains most of the passenger trains were cancelled. The Rørosbanen is very scenic with the northernmost part running parallel to the Gaula river in an area with few inhabitants.

DE: nach heftigen Regenfälle und überschwemmungen im norwegischen Gudbrandsdalen am 7. August 2023 stürzte die Eisenbahnbrücke über den Randklev bei Ringebu ein und war kein Zugverkehr über dieDovrebanen Odlo - Trondheim mehr möglich. Die Reparatur der Brücke dauerte bis 20. Mai 2024. der Güterverkehr wurde umgelitet über die Rørosbanen Hamar – Røros – Støren. Diese Strecke dient normalerweise fast ausschliesslich den Schienenpersonenverkehr. Am Kapazität für Güterzüge zu schaffen, wurde ein Grossteil der Reisezüge eingestellt. Die Rørosbanen führt durch eine landschaftlich sehr reizvolle aber dünn besiedelde Gegend.

Tropical Storm Elsa, which will become post-tropical later today, will enhance the precipitation tonight as it tracks west of the Island early Saturday morning. Total rainfall amounts of up to 50 mm are now forecast for the entire Island.
Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
With the poor weather this weekend I headed to Craflwyn Forest near Beddgelert. Due to the recent heavy rainfall the falls are quite impressive and the Autumn colours are really starting to show!
As the sky begins to darken on the evening of Monday, November 3, 2025, an eastbound empty grain train crosses the mouth of Trout Creek in a steady rainfall near the town of Trout Creek, MT.

July 29, 2012 - Kearney Nebraska US
2012 was a dry summer and the storm season was few & far between. Last recorded rainfall for us was back in early June. Working constantly I had that Sunday evening off and was able to get out to get a few snaps of this oncoming storm.
Finally received some much needed moisture. Strong thunderstorms had formed out in western Nebraska & were dying as they were entering southwest Buffalo county here in South Central Nebraska.
No warnings on this storm but she was producing some exceptional views of the core. Incredible cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning strikes pummeled the earth . This storm cell was proceeding to the northeast from the southwest. It crested right on the northern outskirts of the city. Couldn't have asked for better light & storm. Many photographic gems in this set!
