Wednesday's stats:
Low temp: 53.8F (12.1C)
High temp: 64.4F (18.0C)
Rainfall: none
It seems to me that our sky consists of about 50% cloud cover as darkness descends this evening. And actually most of the day we've been experiencing a battle between sunshine and occasional cloudiness, though most of those clouds have remained in the vicinity of the mountains since about mid-morning. The average humidity at my location in the upper part of town was around 42%, as temperatures ran just slightly above normal for this time of year.
Since last weekend we've been talking about a slow-moving upper-level disturbance/circulation center which has been tracking from central Asia into northwest India. The center of that disturbance is over northern Rajasthan this evening -- close enough to us to generate this scattered cloudiness, and even a few isolated showers across mainly southeastern parts of Himachal Pradesh. It will be pulling away to the east tomorrow into Friday, which should take any lingering instablity with it. A general ridge of high pressure will build in as we approach the weekend, providing us with dry weather and sunny to partly cloudy skies.
Apart from a couple of temporary dips due to rain/thunder this month, our temperatures have been consistently warmer than normal. Yes, the trend has been gradually downward, but the cooling this autumn season is definitely running behind the curve. In fact, we may actually climb one or two degrees over the course of the next three or four days.
