Monday's stats:
Low temp: 63.7F (17.6C)
High temp: 77.5F (25.3C)
Rainfall: 0.10" (3mm)
It's very comfortable this evening, with partly cloudy skies and humidity levels remaining in the 55-60% range. We had extreme variability between sunshine and clouds today, with early morning sun quickly giving way to increasing clouds, and then a period of light showers and some thunder which started up right around noon, but ended not long after 2:00pm. The sun again returned, and has been with us for most of the remainder of the day. The day's low temperature (see stats above) occurred during those early afternoon showers.
Our overall weather scenario is very much on track for this time of year, as we continue to transition out of Himalayan summer and into the monsoon season. I hope you've had a chance to read through AWAITING MONSOON 2015 on a tab above, as that discussion details the metamorphosis that is currently in progress. There have only been some light showers since the episode of heavy rain early Sunday morning came to an end, but deep tropical moisture will be converging on Himachal Pradesh during the next 24 to 36 hours, and that's going to put us under the gun for some heavy rainfall and thunderstorms during the mid-week period. Scattered thundershowers are again a good bet between later tonight and tomorrow night, but computer model data is still painting a very very wet picture for us during the Wednesday-Thursday time frame -- as it has been projecting for the past several days. There could be changes in conditions, of course, but right now it looks like we're going to get slammed pretty hard.
There should be some sort of break in the action between Friday and Sunday, with rain chances going down, and sunshine potential going up... but juicy tropical air will surge back in quickly... with rain chances on the increase again by Monday of next week.
