It is yet another 100% sunny morning, and already very warm just after sunrise since the overnight low temp has been 71.1F (21.7C). We know that summer is definitely in full swing when the overnight temperatures stay above 70F! Humidity remains low -- at just 28%.
Yesterday's high of 87.8F (31.0C) was the new peak for the summer season and the year, but we're not nearly finished with this warming trend. It's probably going to be 90F (32.2C) here in the upper part of town this afternoon, which means it will be very near 100F (38C) in Dharamsala, and around 107F (42C) in Kangra. And this heat doesn't look like it's going to be a short-term affair. Extended range computer model data and upper-air charts are showing continued strengthening of this massive, sprawling high pressure ridge from southern Pakistan into central and northern India all throughout the coming week. It would take a rather strong upper-level disturbance coming in from the west or northwest to change the pattern significantly, and there is no evidence of that happening.
Right now it appears that the atmosphere will remain too stable to be able to produce any shower or thundershower action at all during the next several days, but mountain effects can be fickle and unpredictable, so always be prepared if you're venturing way up high, just in case. It's really good that we picked up all that rainfall last weekend, because we may see very little for the remainder of this month.
