thursday evening>

what a great day! lots of sunshine this morning, a slight build-up of clouds that brought a few rumbles of thunder during the early afternoon, and a high temperature of 27c/81f. still watching a couple of isolated thundershowers off to our west this evening which could affect us... but after that, a change in weather patterns is on the way. rain and thunderstorm chances will all but disappear as we head into the weekend... as a strong ridge of high pressure rapidly builds across the area. this will also bring a considerable warming trend, with temperatures over the weekend into early next week expected to be near the warmest of the summer.

*MONSOON WATCH** the leading front of the monsoon extends from central gujarat to just west of kolkata, and then northward to the eastern nepal border. this position is now a few days behind the normal schedule. however, the eastern front should rapidly accelerate westward across nepal during the next few days. a monsoon onset date of around 28 june still looks good for us.!
