We have totally clear skies again this morning at sunrise. My overnight low here on Tushita Road just below the mountaineering center has occurred in the past few minutes -- 62.2F (16.8C). The current humidity reading is 32%, and there has been no rainfall since last report.
The stretch of weather we're in the middle of right now is ideal, and probably just about as good as it gets all year long. It's been pleasantly warm the last few days, and we've reached the point at which further warming actually moves us into a zone that quickly becomes TOO warm. A building ridge of summertime high pressure continues to become established across northwest India, and that will keep our air mass warming up as we progress through this new week. In fact, as I've been mentioning for many days, we'll be rising a few degrees above normal for this time of year as we cross from April into May.
Although we always have to keep an eye on cloud development over the Dhauladhars during the afternoon hours, it does look we'll be dealing with a basically stable situation through the middle of the week. There are strong indications of instability returning by about Thursday, however, with an increasing chance of some PM thundershower development in the mountains -- and some of that scattered thunder action could begin to affect us as we head in the weekend. Even so, temperatures should stay rather summery.
