rapid rebound... (pm.24.oct.11)>

a picture perfect evening in progress, after a beautiful day.  other than a moderate build-up of clouds over the dhauladars from late morning to late afternoon, we had sunny skies.  the high temp reached exactly 68F (20C), while humidity hovered between 40-50% for most of the day.

in the wake of our weekend storm system, things have been nice and calm and quiet today.  according to the satellite perspective, there were only one or two isolated showers (most likely snow) over some of the higher himalayan peaks this afternoon, otherwise it appears that another phase of drier weather has settled in for a while.  trekkers may be interested in checking out the comments section of this morning's post (below) for some up-to-date information from a regular weathergeek reader concerning conditions on the passes.

sunshine will dominate for the remainder of the week... but please continue to be aware that spotty shower development could occur in the mountains, despite the fair weather pattern.  temperatures have now settled to  near normal, especially during the nights and early mornings, but the sun will keep things quite pleasant during the daytime.
