Saturday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 52.0F (11.1C)
Afternoon high temp: 66.4F (19.1C)
Rainfall: none
The last time I recorded a temperature as high as 66.4F (19.1C) was on the 1st of November, 2012. So, it's been a little more than four months since we've enjoyed these kinds of pleasant conditions. Other than just a few scraggly cumulus clouds which tried to develop over the mountains this afternoon, we had wall-to-wall sunshine today.
It looks like this early springtime air mass may be able to warm up even a bit more during the coming several days, which will take us precariously close to 70F (21C) for the first time since the middle of October last year. I don't know about you, but I'm still a little disoriented by such a rapid and dramatic leap into this comfortable temperature category. But -- it's for real, with no regression back to cooler weather expected for at least the next week or so.
A weak upper-level disturbance is expected to slide just to our north across Jammu & Kashmir on Monday into Tuesday morning. At this point it appears that only an increase in clouds will accompany it, with rain chances remaining minimal. There could be a more significant storm system on the distant horizon, but it shouldn't begin to affect us until next Saturday at the earliest. It might not be a great idea to pack up all the winter gear just yet, as March is capable of pulling tricks.
