Additionally, subsidence has caused four smaller stupas as well as four surrounding mondop structures to lean slightly towards the main stupa.

Aside from the return to trade winds, little change is expected through mid-week as reinforcing subsidence maintains a shallow and strong inversion in favor of continued drier- than-normal conditions.
