Monday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 41.0F (5.0C)
Afternoon high temp: 51.6F (10.9C)
Rainfall: none
It's a bit hazy, otherwise our skies are clear post-sunset this evening, after our first 100% sunny day since the 4th of December. That sunshine didn't help the thermometer, however, as my high temp on Tushita Road was slightly cooler than the last few days -- It felt milder to me though, thanks to the full sunshine and lighter winds. Not a bad final day of 2012, all in all.
A very fast-moving jet stream pattern during the coming several days will deliver a couple of upper-level disturbances to north India -- one tomorrow (New Year's Day) and another on Friday. Right now it appears that both of these weak systems will be devoid of moisture, and should only be able to produce some cloudiness and perhaps some fleeting mountain snow showers as they rapidly pass by. This means that our dry weather of the past 15 days will continue into the first week of the new year, and possibly beyond.
Temperatures have been pretty close to the seasonal average since late last week, and are expected to remain in that category or even cool down a bit more by the coming weekend. A pretty good outlook for early January, unless you are impatient for a big snowy winter storm...
