Monday's stats:
Low temp: 59.4F (15.2C)
High temp: 71.9F (22.2C)
Rainfall: none
Some large clumps/patches of clouds and fog are drifting around this evening at sunset, but this is not at all illustrative of the kind of day we've had. We had pretty much unrestricted sunshine until the early afternoon, with then partly to mostly cloudy skies for just a couple of hours during the mid- to late afternoon. It's been a very pleasant and comfortable day with humidity averaging in the 55-65% range -- and for the second day in a row there hasn't been a drop of rain.
As September comes to a close during the next couple of days, we're finding ourselves at the very tail end of this year's monsoon season. The drying trend we've been anticipating is already in progress, after our wet spell last week, and all the data points toward a drier and drier air mass taking hold across most of the northwest half of India as this week progresses. The risk of afternoon/evening clouds and patchy fog is of course still present here along the immediate front slopes of the mountain ranges -- and there could yet be a random/isolated/surprise shower popping up somewhere. BUT, the overall trend is looking very positive, as far as our final transition out of the monsoon is concerned.
With a large ridge of high pressure building from southern Pakistan into Rajasthan, we should also be on the northern fringes of a warming air mass during the rest of this week as well. It looks like we will make the September-into-October transition with temperatures running at least a couple of degrees above normal for the season.
