diwali sunshine... (am.26.oct.11)>

a calm, quiet and 100% clear morning... humidity stands at 41%, and i've recorded an overnight low of 55.4F (13.0C) here on tushita road just below the mountaineering center.

HAPPY DIWALI... looks like it will be a nice one.  we are entering what is normally the driest and most quiet time of the year, weatherwise, here in the dharamsala area.  moisture in all levels of the atmosphere is low, and winds in the mid-levels and aloft are generally from the west and northwest.  while there are always a few wiggles and jiggles in the jetstream flow that could set off an isolated mountain shower, there are no major disturbances in sight, and that should allow fair weather to dominate for several days.

sun lovers should be satisfied, and so should those who are not looking forward to the eventual advance of colder air... as temps should be steady in this rather mild range right into the weekend at least.

high: 21C (69F)
