Friday's stats:
Low temp: 60.4F (15.8C)
High temp: 74.1F (23.4C)
Rainfall: none
A very pleasant evening is in progress, with just a scattering of high clouds and a few cumulus now dissipating over the Dhauladhars. The layer of mainly high clouds which gave us a rather gloomy start to the day moved out shortly after 10:00am, leaving us with plenty of sunshine until a fairly major build-up of cumulus clouds over the mountains got going after about 2:00pm. There was some thunder audible here in McLeod around 3:30pm or so, but any rain shower action remained further uphill. Temperatures again reached new highs for the season and 2014.
Although there's nothing really worth complaining too much about, we will still have to deal with a bit of unsettled weather during the next 24 hours or so, as a couple of weak ripples of energy in the upper atmosphere pass across northern India. Be on guard for a random shower or thundershower (or two) between now and tomorrow evening -- but it still looks like any rainfall will be brief and relatively light. We should still have some sunshine in the midst of occasional clouds and that risk of showers tomorrow, keeping our temps near the highest of this season so far.
A very summery-looking ridge of high pressure is showing up on the weather charts starting on Sunday... remaining the main feature into at least the middle of next week. For several days I've been advertising our first 80F (26.7C) temps of the season by Monday or Tuesday, and that forecast still seems to be on target.
