Monday's stats:
Low temp: 58.3F (14.6C)
High temp: 74.8F (23.8C)
Rainfall: 0.09" (2mm) -- as of 4:50pm
There have been a few sprinkles of rain around the area this evening since around 5:40pm, but it's been barely enough to wet the pavement. Otherwise it is mostly cloudy as sunset approaches. The only other rain we've experienced today occurred during the wee hours of the morning, and even that was quite light, as you can see from the stats above. In between, we had a few fluctuations back and forth between clouds and sunshine -- but there was more sun than yesterday, though the actual temperature didn't reflect that. My high temp in the upper part of town was about 9ºF/5ºC cooler than normal for the date.
It's now been nearly two weeks since we began this phase of very unsettled, unstable and frequently changeable weather -- I have recorded measurable rainfall on nine of the past fourteen days. That rainfall has not been particularly heavy, but it seems we're dodging showers here and there, now and then, nearly every day. The latest disturbance responsible for this recent bout of showery weather is nearly right on top of us this evening, but will continue to weaken as it pushes east-northeast overnight into Tuesday. Although we're not going to stabilize completely, there are some positive signs that we'll be moving toward a more settled pattern as the rest of the week progresses. But you know the story... even in the midst of summer sunshine and a return to warmer temperatures, we'll have to be aware of some rogue (mainly PM) thundershower development.
On average, the 20th of May through about the 15th of June is the warmest period of the entire year here in the Dharamsala area. We're into that window now, and it is indeed looking like we're going to see temperatures rise significantly as we head toward the weekend...
