Our skies are partly cloudy just before sunset this evening. We've had no rainfall today, but there were a few rumbles of thunder over the mountains around and just after 4:00pm. Today was not quite as warm as the last several, but still, we made it to 76.1F (24.5C)... that's still a bit above normal for early April.
Current satellite photos show clusters of thunderstorms along the mountains, all the way from northern Pakistan and Kashmir, southeastward into Nepal. This activity is evidence that the atmosphere over the central and western Himalaya remains unstable, despite the lack of an organized storm system. I'm still expecting more of a stabilizing trend both tomorrow and especially on Easter Sunday... but a random shower or thunderstorm (mainly in the PM) can't be totally ruled out.
There IS a more organized storm system on the horizon for early next week... which could bring us a better chance of a couple of thunderstorms during the Monday through Wednesday period. Temperatures during the next several days should remain very close to the warmest of the season. I'm still waiting for the first temp above 80F (26.7C) here at the top of McLeod Ganj... and we should be very close.
