there are a few peeks of sunshine between the clouds this evening... pretty much the same scenario we've had all day. there was some thunder before sunrise again, and a bit more thunder during the early afternoon, but personally, i haven't seen any raindrops. the high temp reached 76.3F (24.6C), with humidity in the 50-55% range.
a broad area of upper-level low pressure over tibet continues to provide us with a northeasterly flow of air aloft... this coolish flow is interacting with the summertime air at the surface across northern india to produce quite a bit of cloudiness, along with widely scattered showers and thundershowers (which have been sticking pretty close to the mountains). this pattern is currently in the process of breaking down, however, which will allow a warmer and slightly more stable airmass to move in from the west during the next few days.
although the official leading edge of monsoon conditions remains in southern and extreme eastern india, we are seeing an appreciable increase in humidity. we are into the time of year when a period of showers or thundershowers is about a 40% likelihood on any day, in the midst of alternating sunshine and clouds. temperatures have been cooler than normal for the past couple of days... but at this point, i'm banking on a rebound as we head for the weekend...
THURSDAY NIGHT: partly to mostly cloudy skies with some thundershowers in the area.
low: 20C (68F)
FRIDAY: partly sunny and a bit warmer. risk of a thundershower.
high: 27C (80F)
SATURDAY: partly cloudy and warm. slight chance of a PM thundershower.
high: 28C (82F)
SUNDAY: hazy sunshine and some clouds. warm and muggy with a shower or thundershower possible, mainly in the PM.
high: 29C (83F)
MONDAY: a mix of hazy sun and clouds. rather humid, with some passing thundershowers possible.
high: 29C (83F)
TUESDAY: warm and muggy with a few thundershowers in the area.
high: 27C (81F)
