november perfection... (pm.14.nov.13)>

Thursday's stats:

Low temp: 49.6F (9.8C)
High temp: 59.0F (15.0C)
Rainfall: none

There's still some yellow and orange in the western sky just after sunset this evening, at the end of a 100% sunny day.  I saw a couple of very short-lived fragments of cumulus clouds trying hard to develop over the highest Dhauladhar peaks around 2:30pm, otherwise there was unlimited deep blue and bright sunshine across our area today.  This kind of weather has been a long time coming and of course very late to arrive this year -- but better late than never, I guess.  We've now had five days in a row which I would call 'mostly sunny'.  On top of all that, humidity dipped to 16% at my location in the upper part of town late this morning -- by far the lowest of the season.

This fantastic mid-November weather should continue for the next several days at least.  Winds in the upper atmosphere are already swinging around to the west-southwest, which will allow a bubble of slightly warmer air to advance into much of northwest India as the weekend arrives.  There's also hardly any moisture to find, so cloud development should be very limited -- apart from some wisps and waves of thin high cloudiness which we might start to see eventually.

By late Tuesday or Wednesday, the next surge of cooler air is being hinted at by computer models, dropping in from the north and northwest.  Until that time, it looks like we will most likely be balancing out on the plus side of normal in the temperature department.
