wow... the heat made no delay in returning. the high on this monday afternoon hit 29c/84f at the weathergeek office way up in the forest at the top of mcleod ganj. lots of sun today, and we expect the same tomorrow, with a further rise in temperatures. most of wednesday will also be very warm and dry... but changes will begin to appear by wednesday evening. right now, it's looking like the latter half of the week will be very unstable, with an increase in humidity, cloudiness and thunderstorm potential. try to schedule the outdoor fun between now and wednesday afternoon if you can... and make contingency plans if you have activities scheduled for thursday into the weekend...

MONDAY NIGHT: clear skies. not as cool and comfortable as the previous few nights.
low: 21C (69F)

TUESDAY: mostly sunny and even warmer.
high: 31C (87F)

WEDNESDAY: partly cloudy and very warm. slight chance of a thunderstorm by evening.
high: 31C (88F)

THURSDAY: partly to mostly cloudy with a good chance of a few showers and thunderstorms. quite humid, but not as warm.
high: 29C (84F)

FRIDAY: mostly cloudy and cooler with periods of showers and thunderstorms likely.
high: 26C (78F)

SATURDAY: still a good chance of some showers and storms. breezy and quite mild for june.
high: 24C (75F)

the next three days are looking stellar. clear skies early on this monday morning... and the sun should be out in force for most of the day. ditto that for tuesday and wednesday, along with a steady warming trend. the end of the week looks a bit dicey, however. a strong upper-level storm system will begin to affect the area by wednesday evening, and then the chance for thunderstorms really cranks up for thursday, right into the weekend. the first part of the week is definitely the best time to schedule hikes, picnics and other outings...

MONDAY: sunny in the morning, a few mountain clouds in the afternoon. warmer.
high: 28C (83F)

MONDAY NIGHT: clear skies. comfortable.
low: 21C (69F)

TUESDAY: plenty of sunshine... continuing to warm up...
high: 31C (87F)

WEDNESDAY: very warm with hazy sunshine. thunderstorms are possible towards evening.
high: 31C (88F)

THURSDAY: partly cloudy, warm and humid with a good chance of a few showers and storms.
high: 30C (86F)

FRIDAY: partly to mostly cloudy with periods of showers and thunderstorms likely. cooler.
high: 27C (80F)

...and it did turn out to be a near perfect sunday. lots of sun in the morning, a few clouds in the afternoon, and temps maxing out around 26c/80f. looking ahead, our warming trend will continue through wednesday, but it's now looking likely that we won't equal the extreme heat of last week. still, it will be plenty warm, with humidity on the increase by wednesday. the latest computer models are bringing in some fierce thunderstorm activity for the end of the week which definitely bears close watching. along with the storm potential will come some cooler temperatures. trekkers: head to the mountains during the first half of the week!

SUNDAY NIGHT: becoming mostly clear. very pleasant.
low: 19C (67F)

MONDAY: lots of sunshine with warmer temps.
high: 28C (83F)

TUESDAY: sunny... warming trend continues.
high: 31C (87F)

WEDNESDAY: hazy sunshine early... but increasing clouds with a chance of thunderstorms by evening. still very warm.
high: 31C (88F)

THURSDAY: partly to mostly cloudy with periods of showers and thunderstorms likely. not as warm.
high: 29C (84F)

FRIDAY: much cooler, with a good chance of showers and storms.
high: 26C (78F)

it's sunny early on this sunday morning, and the satellite pic shows that the storm system of the last two days has weakened and lifted off into central tibet. as the sun works on the atmosphere and warms things up this afternoon, we may still have to keep a lookout for a stray thundershower, but the vast majority of the day will be almost picture perfect. the advertised warming trend is still on schedule for the next 3-4 days, but by thursday, another disturbance will move in and increase our storm chances again. good weather for outdoor activities and mountain exploration during the first half of the week...

SUNDAY: mostly sunny in the morning, partly cloudy by afternoon. warmer, with a brief, isolated thundershower possible.
high: 27C (81F)

SUNDAY NIGHT: becoming mostly clear. comfortable.
low: 19C (67F)

MONDAY: mostly sunny and warming up.
high: 29C (84F)

TUESDAY: lots of sunshine... heat builds.
high: 31C (87F)

WEDNESDAY: hazy sunshine. warmest day of the week...
high: 32C (89F)

THURSDAY: partly cloudy warm and more humid, with an increasing chance of thunderstorms.
high: 31C (88F)
