Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 68.0F (20.0C)
High temp: 85.8F (29.9C)
Rainfall: none
Clear, quiet and warm evenings have become common during the past few days, and we've got another one in progress right now. There was a bit more of a build-up of clouds over the mountains early this afternoon -- and it even looked a little threatening to our northwest for about a half hour or so -- but sunshine came out on top yet again. My high temp was solidly the highest of this summer season, and of 2014.
Temperatures have been warming steadily and consistently during the past three days, as the most summery air mass of the season continues to expand across most of central and northern India. Up until recently, we've been plagued regularly with upper-level disturbances moving in from the west and northwest which have kept genuine summer temperatures from become firmly established, as they've delivered waves of showers and thundershowers every few days. This current pattern seems much more reliably dry, at least thus far, allowing our warming to finally gain some momentum.
Typically, the last ten days of May and the first ten days of June ARE the very warmest time of the year here in McLeod -- so this kind of heat is to be expected. And it looks like it will stick around, as long as we don't get one or two of our famous isolated afternoon thundershowers (courtesy of the Dhauladhar thunder machine) to bless us with some temporary cooling...
