Monday's stats:
Low temp: 61.2F (16.2C)
High temp: 78.0F (25.6C)
Rainfall: trace
There are some leftover clouds right along the Dhauladhars before sunset this evening, otherwise we have mostly clear skies. Apart from some building clouds over the mountains for a while that led to a couple of rumbles of thunder and a few brief sprinkles during the mid-afternoon, it has been a really nice day. Sunshine maintained control, providing us with pleasantly warm conditions once again.
We continue to enjoy temperatures that are much more comfortable than they could be during the waning days of May, but it looks like that will be changing as we progress toward the latter part of the week. The main feature on the weather charts continues to be a big ridge of summertime high pressure to our southwest, which will continue to expand eastward during the coming several days. The real warm-up hasn't even begun -- but when it kicks in, I think it's going to be very noticeable. It's starting to look like we could be approaching 90F/32C by this weekend, as long as there aren't any extended periods of clouds or showers to save us from that.
Even with that high pressure ridge building in, we're going to see a general west-northwesterly flow in the upper-atmosphere that could deliver occasional disturbances to north India. That means we can't rule out a sudden period of mainly afternoon thundershowers to cool things down temporarily. I think by the weekend, something like that will be more than welcome...
