It's unseasonably mild at the moment... I recorded a high temp this afternoon of 60.8ºF (16.0ºC), and the low this morning was above 50ºF (10ºC). We also had abundant sunshine, good air quality, and moderately low humidity today.
This mild early December weather will remain with us as we finish off the week, as a ridge of high pressure briefly builds into/across northern India. However, already the first signs of a developing storm system are showing up to our west-northwest across central Asia, and it still looks like we are in line for a very radical change in our weather conditions early next week.
According to the latest data via various computer models, an intense early winter storm system is going to begin affecting us with increasing chances of rain and mountain snowfall by late Monday, and especially on Tuesday into early Wednesday. We should see a major plunge in temperatures which will accompany precipitation development, and it is very likely that our temps here in McLeod Ganj will fall to the lowest we've experienced since last February.
I certainly hope trekkers and hikers are paying attention to these anticipated changes, because even at Triund, and possibly below, there could be significant snowfall and temps well below freezing by late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
