Winter Weather in Bhutan

The weather this year is crazy different to last year. I don’t want to attribute it to global warming. It might just be the standard flux in weather patterns that occur everywhere. Anyway, last year had almost no rainy season and winter was cloudless for its entirety. This year, after an extended rainy season, winter arrived suddenly, but every morning is grey and gloomy. By 9am, the sky has mostly cleared and it’s frightfully cold. It only warms up at noon (and then only in direct sunlight) and is near zero again by 4pm. Some days, the rain returns again in the late afternoon. It could be that we’ll get snow in Thimphu again this year. I say again because it normally snows a few times each year, but I’ve never seen it personally.
