*Update @ 4:00pm... There has been more thunder, along with some random very light showers during the past 40 mins or so. The rain has been barely enough to wet the ground, and not enough to register a measurement in the rain gauge. This mountain-induced instability should die out as we approach sunset.
*Update @ 2:28pm... Well, we've got our isolated thunder development over the Dhauladhars since just before 2:00pm. I've got some sprinkles of rain here in the upper part of town. Current temp: 81.1F (27.3C), humidity: 39%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is 100% sunny early on this Thursday morning, with 34% humidity and temperatures climbing from a pre-sunrise low temperature of 64.6F (18.1C). Those thundershowers in Pakistan last evening fizzled out as they moved eastward, and never made it into Himachal.
We're now right on the brink of a stretch of genuinely hot summertime weather, as the atmosphere continues to readjust to allow a massive ridge of high pressure to build across most of the Indian subcontinent. There's still room for a little bit of instability today, so the risk of an isolated thundershower exists, though just barely. It's looking good for the first IPL match between Punjab Kings XI and the Delhi Daredevils at HPCA stadium in Dharamsala starting at 8:00pm.
Although temperatures are already back to normal after our recent wet and cool spell, it looks like we've only just begun to warm up. Heat wave conditions will be in full force over nearly all of northern India over the weekend into at least the middle of next week, and it still looks like we're in line for the hottest temps of the season even way up here on the front slopes of the Dhauladhars as we rise above 90F (32C) as early as Sunday.
