Monday's stats:
Early morning low temp: 55.0F (12.8C)
Afternoon high temp: 72.7F (22.6C)
Rainfall: none
We're in the midst of a gorgeous and comfortably mild May evening, with sun and only a few scattered clouds during this hour before sunset. Although there was a moderate build-up of clouds over the mountains which began shortly before noon, I never saw any evidence of any thundershower action up there, and satellite pics only show very isolated development in the mountains from Kashmir into Uttarakhand.
The upper-level circulation and major instability that was in our vicinity over the weekend has rapidly given way to a flat west-northwest flow aloft. This air mass is still rather moist -- humidity has been in the 50-65% range all day -- but the temperature battle between different levels of the atmosphere has quieted down, so things have been fairly stable today. Apart from a random flare-up of thundershowers over the mountains during the next day or so, it looks like we're going to be entering a very quiet phase of weather which should last at least into the coming weekend. High pressure will take control, keeping rain chances at a bare minimum from Wednesday forward.
It was warm in the direct sun today, but actually, our temperatures are running about 10F (4-5C) below normal for this stage of May. This relatively mild weather is going to disappear quickly over the course of the coming few days, however. Prepare for the warmest (hottest??) temps of the year setting in during the latter half of the week. It could be pushing 100F (37C) in Dharamsala as all the IPL cricket action cranks up on Thursday...
