Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 55.8F (13.2C)
High temp: 63.1F (17.3C)
Rainfall: none
It is partly to mostly cloudy just after sunset this evening. There was more sunshine today than yesterday, but low clouds, haze and light fog still took up much of the afternoon hours, as the humidity hovered in the 75-80% range for most of the day. On the positive side, there was no rain today, and I've recorded just 0.02" (less than 1mm) in the past week.
The upper-air pattern is gradually changing and morphing into more of a classic autumn situation across northern India and the rest of the western Himalayan region. However, this slow transformation is still not translating into much of a change here at our elevation, in terms of the daily episodes of cloud development along the front slopes of the Dhauladhars. Computer models are again showing a reduction in the average moisture content of the atmosphere starting tonight, and continuing into the weekend. If there is any truth to those projections, there should be less extensive cloudiness around here tomorrow.
Our temperatures have cooled down a few degrees this week, but we are still averaging out near to slightly above normal for the latter part of October. A push of cooler air is still in the forecast for the latter part of the weekend into early next week, which could bring us our lowest temps of the season by Monday and Tuesday.
