Thursday's stats:
Low temp: 41.5F (5.3C)
High temp: 52.3F (11.3C)
Precipitation: none
A gorgeous, calm and quiet evening is underway just after sunset -- with clear skies, light winds, low humidity, and very tolerable temperatures for the season. Today turned out to be the mildest day of the past two weeks, with full sunshine apart from just a few scattered mid-level clouds early this morning. As early January days go, it has indeed been a really really nice one.
The building high pressure ridge in the upper-atmosphere has definitely done its job -- providing very stable conditions here along the front slopes of the Himalayan ranges, and allowing the winter sun to boost temperatures into the above average range. One of the lost secrets of the winter season is that it can actually be much sunnier and even a few degrees milder here at our elevation than it is further south on the plains where a temperature inversion can trap fog and haze and pollution in that stagnant shallow cold air mass.
Tomorrow is looking very good as well, but by Saturday this fair weather pattern will begin to break down as a fresh series of disturbances begins to affect northern India. A surge of colder air will accompany the first one, from late Saturday through Monday, but right now it looks like there won't be enough moisture to stir up any rain or snow showers. However, a messier scenario is starting to appear on the weather charts for the middle and latter parts of next week. Keep that in mind.
