Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 63.5F (17.5C)
High temp: 76.1F (24.5C)
Rainfall: none
Our sky is 100% clear this evening -- as we finish off the month of September in a state of weather perfection. Unlimited sunshine this morning gave way to very feeble cumulus development in the vicinity of the mountains for a few hours during the afternoon, but those clouds dissipated rapidly as sunset approached. I recorded a humidity reading as low as 34% during the morning hours, which is the first time that's happened since May! Temperatures are running on the plus-side of normal for the season.
In case anybody missed it, I will remind you that we had our official monsoon withdrawal declaration from the India Met Department yesterday evening, as the lingering traces of tropical moisture have finally been chased out of the northwest one-third of India. That's quite obvious to see and feel, with all this sunshine and humidity way way down. A big ridge of high pressure anchored along the Pakistan border with Rajasthan is the weather feature in control now, and it looks like it will remain where it is for several days at least.
There is some kind of a weak upper-level disturbance and pool of cooler air aloft expected to swing across northern India late Saturday into early Monday, but right now it seems that there will be very little moisture for it to tap into. That means any resulting instability should be limited to perhaps a bit more mountain cloud development during the PM hours -- with chances of rain shower action at a minimum. Our temps should remain quite warm as we progress through the first several days of October... and possibly beyond.
