We have some patchy clouds competing with the sun early this morning. But it is a very mild morning nonetheless... I'm recording a low temp of 69.4F (20.8C) here in the upper part of town. There has been no rainfall in the past 24 hours.
From the satellite vantage point, it looks like the sun is going to have a bit of a competition with the clouds today, as opposed to yesterday when we had the most sunshine we've seen since the 30th of March, which allowed the high temp to hit 88.5F (31.4F). There's a big IPL cricket match in Dharamsala between Punjab Kings XI and Chennai Super Kings starting at 4:00pm, so we'll have thousands of guests and a considerable number of VIPs in the area for the next few days. The weather pattern should cooperate for the most part, although we're still watching a few weak disturbances in the upper-atmosphere which could trigger a round of thundershowers once in a while. It's impossible to predict exactly when and where one might hit, but as always, keep one eye on the sky and be prepared to take cover if development occurs.
Otherwise, we should continue to enjoy a good amount of may sunshine in between the patches of clouds and random thundershowers -- all the way into early next week. Computer models are not showing any significant cooling of this air mass at all, so it looks like we might be dependent on one of those thundershowers to cool things down from these very warm summertime temps...
*Forecast conditions for IPL match at 4:00pm in Dharamsala: Partly cloudy skies. Some thunder in the area? Temp: 33C (91F).**
