today was arguably the sunniest day in several months... with only a very feeble collection of clouds gathering over the mountains for a while between noon and about 4:00pm. despite the huge percentage of sunshine, it was a rather cool day, with the high temp only reaching 65.5F (18.6C).
general high pressure from the surface into the mid-levels of the atmosphere, a westerly flow aloft, and the absence of any significant moisture is giving us a very quiet and stable weather situation, which should continue into the weekend. even the highest mountains have been pretty much free of rain/snow showers the last couple of days... providing some beautiful conditions for trekkers and climbers.
temperatures have been cooling gradually... as the himalayan airmass adapts to the longer nights, and seeps downslope. it's still warm in the sun, but we've reached the stage where the chill is pretty much here to stay in the shade, and during the overnight hours.
there may be some changes coming early next week, so stay tuned as we watch for a returning chance of some rain shower action...
