It is the coolest morning of the season in McLeod Ganj. I've recorded a low temp of 52.9F (11.6C), which occurred just in the last half hour or so. We have clear skies at dawn, with a humidity reading of 53%.
As expected, temperatures have been on a downward trajectory recently. Although our daytime temps have been fairly steady the last several days, overnight lows have been dropping incrementally over the course of the past few days, as a cooler air mass filters in from the northwest. Our general flow looks like it is going to shift back to the west-southwest for a little while during the mid-week period, which could temporarily halt the cool-down -- but a rather vigorous upper-level disturbance will sweep through here at the end of the week, with even cooler air expected to follow in its wake.
Cloud development from the late morning through the afternoon hours continues to be the main wild card in our weather forecast. Although this cooler and somewhat drier air is gradually squelching that development, we haven't been able to break through to totally sunny/blue skies this autumn season so far. This time of year it is still pleasantly warm in the direct sun, but suddenly chilly when the clouds take over.
The upper-level disturbance I mentioned above will begin to affect us by late Wednesday, and will provide at least a slight to moderate chance of some scattered rain showers into Friday. Right now rainfall amounts aren't looking like they will be very significant for us... but stay tuned this week for further updates.
