From my vantage point, it looks like we have clear skies across the area this evening, apart from the thin haze. There was very little if any cloud development over the mountains today, which allowed the hazy sunshine to blast upon us and boost the high temp at my location in the upper part of town to 91.0F (32.8C). That's not only the warmest temperature of this year, but of 2010 and 2011 as well. Of course local temps vary considerably across the area, but proportionally speaking, it's safe to say that today was the warmest day of the past three years!
Unhindered sun and a huge bubble of very warm air in the middle and upper parts of the atmosphere brought sizzling hot weather to the plains of north India as well... it seems we're not alone as we partake of the peak of the peak of the summer season. There are some changes starting to appear, however. A series of weak upper-level disturbances which contain some slightly colder air aloft will begin to affect us as early as late tomorrow. Isolated to widely scattered thundershowers may develop as we near the weekend, offering the hope of a little moisture and a bit of a drop in temperatures.
As has been the case for the past few weeks, significant rainfall is going to be hard to come by, but it now looks like our best chance might be from late Thursday night through Saturday evening. A little rain will bring the cooler air aloft down to the surface, which I think would be welcome indeed.
