It's clear, calm and serene this morning as the sun begins to peek over the mountains -- and it's been a quiet night. The predawn low temperature at my location in the upper part of town was 63.1F (17.3C), and there has been no additional rainfall after yesterday's 1.65" (4.2cm) drubbing. The humidity reading is currently 33%.
After three days of volatility and extreme fluctuations which included a mix of clouds, sun and light showers on Friday, lots of sun and the warmest temperature of the season on Saturday, and then all the thunder, lightning, moderate to heavy rain, and unseasonably cool temps yesterday -- it looks like things are going to even out and calm down for awhile. We're coming under the influence of a benign west-northwesterly flow, which should be our main weather feature all the way through this coming weekend. We'll also be on the northern fringe of a giant ridge of summertime high pressure which will extend from Saudi Arabia across the northern Arabian Sea into the central third of India. All of this spells an extended period of generally quiet and dry weather, with temperatures moderating and warming further -- to the highest of this season and year as the weak progresses.
Of course the big 'BUT' to all of this is our mysterious Dhauladhar mountain thunder machine factor -- which can kick in during the afternoon hours even if the overall pattern appears devoid of any kind of disturbances. Anyway, it looks like a very summery stretch of weather for us this week, apart from that issue which we have to keep tucked away in the back of our minds...
