clear skies... a cool 14.5C/58F just before sunrise. satellite photos show no cloudiness across north india again this morning... the only exception being the extreme northwest corner of jammu & kashmir, where a weak upper-level disturbance is spinning.
although we still had a period of gloomy clouds for a few hours yesterday afternoon, you may have noticed that the cloud bases are not quite as low... meaning there was less fog to contend with. that may be a minor consolation, but a sign that we are slowly and steadily getting rid of the lingering moisture in the air. until we get a nice blast of dry central asian air, i don't think we will see any of those famous totally cloudless autumn days around here. so... get used to the morning sun and afternoon clouds... because it looks like this pattern will stick with us for a while. i am not mentioning any rain chances in the forecast until sunday, but keep in mind that during the afternoons, there is always a risk of an isolated shower popping up somewhere over the mountains.
by the way, in case you're counting... today will be 5 days in a row without measurable rain... which means the india met department can finally declare an official monsoon withdrawal here... (unless we get a freak shower to spoil it!)
