Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 63.3F (17.4C)
High temp: 79.3F (26.3C)
Rainfall: 0.01" (less than 1mm)
Lingering thundershowers continue to cling to the Dhauladhars this evening, otherwise we have partly cloudy skies and some random sprinkles of rain in our general area. Although there were two distinct periods of thundershowers today, you can see from the stats that the actual rainfall produced was next to nothing. The first thunder started rumbling around 12:45pm, with a period of light showers between about 1:30 and 2:45pm. The sun returned in full force for a while during the afternoon, but then the thunder/sprinkles came back during the evening. Temperatures continue to run significantly cooler than normal for this stage of June.
A warm-up is still expected this week, though so far it has been sluggish about getting going. It looks like we should be approaching seasonal norms, temp-wise, by Wednesday or Thursday, but the warming trend on the way will probably not be enough to get us to the levels we were experiencing about a week to ten days ago.
Marginal instability will probably not go away... as a general north-northwesterly flow in the upper-atmosphere overruns increasingly warmer air at the surface. That means more sun-cloud-sun-cloud swings are on the way, along with the decent risk of mainly PM thundershower development somewhere in our vicinity.
