Friday's stats:
Low temp: 52.7F (11.5C)
High temp: 60.4F (15.8C)
Rainfall: none
Our darkening evening sky features some scattered high clouds and a waxing half moon overhead. It's been another day of phenomenal amounts of sunshine, with only a slight increase in those scattered cirrus clouds during the middle of the afternoon. We've again had to deal with a slight haze, but the worst of it remains down in the lower elevations. I recorded the warmest high temp since Monday, but only by a hair. Humidity again averaged around 40-45%.
A sprawling high pressure ridge in the upper-atmosphere across most of South Asia continues to keep an inversion in place -- with relatively warmer air aloft trapping cooler air in the surface layers. This is a very stable situation, with very little if any upward vertical motion possible... thus the lack of cloud development and the haze issues further downhill. It's been great to have a few days in a row of abundant fall sunshine here along the immediate Dhauladhar range.
Upper-level energy and developing low pressure well off to our west will attempt to chip away at this big high pressure ridge during the coming several days, but as of now, it doesn't look like it's going to have much success. We'll have to watch a bit of shower potential early next week north and west of us, along with a potential for some more extensive patches of mid-high clouds developing... but all in all things are still looking very acceptable and tolerable for late November.
THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK can be found on a tab at the top of the page, along with lots of other stuff you may want to check out.
