Other than the dust and haze hanging in the air, we have sunny skies and it's pleasantly warm across the area this evening. My high temp in the upper part of town reached 85.5F (29.7C) around 2:00pm, which is very close to normal for the last few days of May.
We're looking at a very quiet weather pattern during the next several days. The flow aloft will be weak, from the west-northwest, and temperatures from the surface into the upper atmosphere will be on the rise. All the data is pointing to a generally stable situation, with very little dynamic energy, cold air aloft, or moisture available to trigger any significant shower/thunderstorm activity -- right through Friday. Unfortunately, the lack of rain will allow this haze, dust and other pollution from the plains of north India to hang around through the week as well.
Temperatures should stay at their warmest levels of the season and year, and there are indications we may even climb a bit above 90F/32C at some point this week. Of course that means it will be boiling HOT just down the hill, with highs close to 100F/37C in Dharamsala, and over 104F/40C in Kangra. We're getting into the thick of the thick of the summer season, folks!
