Hazy sunshine dominates the early evening sky... after a very warm day with only a few scattered clouds. My high temperature reached 87.6F (30.9C), which was within 2F/1C of the warmest reading of this summer season.
Six of the past seven days have been above 85F (29C), and it looks like we'll have no problem remaining in that range for the next several days at least. A gigantic, sprawling bubble of high pressure in the upper atmosphere covers nearly all of the Indian subcontinent, featuring warm air from the surface into the higher levels. This is keeping the air mass relatively stable... but also providing the warmest temperatures of the season across a wide area. It is miserably hot down on the plains these days... so we're lucky to have the situation tempered considerably by our 6000ft/1800m elevation.
Rain chances during the coming days should be restricted to the odd development of a brief thundershower over the mountains mainly during the afternoon/evening hours... especially by Saturday. Otherwise, it looks like we had better get used to this rather stagnant, hazy, very warm summer pattern until further notice...
