Monday's stats:
Low temp: 48.9F (9.4C)
High temp: 56.2F (13.4C)
Rainfall: none
Scattered clouds dot the sky after sunset this evening, and it feels chillier than it has in a while. My high temp on Tushita Road below the mountaineering center (see stats above) was the coolest I've recorded since the 9th of November -- though it is just barely below normal for this time of year. That's an indication of the kind of relatively mild weather we've been dealing with during the past few weeks. Although there was a good amount of sun, it had to share space with a considerable amount of high cloudiness off and on throughout the day.
The center of a small but vigorous upper-level circulation is approaching the Pak/Kashmir border just southwest of Srinagar this evening. Its main feature is the much colder air associated with it -- primarily in the middle and upper-levels of the atmosphere. The lack of moisture available to feed this system is the only reason it's not able to stir up some significant rain and snow showers, and even some thunder and lightning across much of the western Himalayas. Instead, it's only the surge of cooler air and high cloudiness we've had to contend with.
By mid-day tomorrow (Tues), this disturbance should weaken and shoot off to our east-northeast, but it looks like the upper-atmosphere will remain vulnerable to a series of weak disturbances over the course of the coming week or so. That means we should see some back-and-forth between sun and occasional high clouds, along with fluctuating temperatures as we progress through the first week to 10 days of December.
