perfection this morning... we have totally clear skies before sunrise. the pre-dawn low temp has been 67.3F (19.6C), and our humidity reading stands at a very comfortable 53%. there has been no additional rainfall overnight.
the summer solstice occurs tonight in our time zone... this is the time when the sun reaches its furthest northward position, providing us with the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. from this point on, our days will gradually get shorter and shorter. we'll start off the day in true "summer" fashion, with lots of sunshine and rapidly warming temps. but as we've seen almost every day recently, humidity will increase, clouds will build, and thundershowers will pop up... especially as we head into the afternoon hours.
monsoon conditions have been trying to get going here along the himalayan front ranges for several days now, but the real deep, rich tropical moisture has not arrived yet, and a weak northwest flow aloft continues to deliver some shots of drier central asian air to chase away the mugginess. there are some major adjustments happening in the upper atmosphere though, which may turn the tide later this week. as always, you can check the MONSOON WATCH tab above for more info and a link to the latest map...
