Our sky is mostly clear as the sun dips toward the western horizon this evening. There was a fairly healthy build-up of clouds over the mountains this afternoon, but all those clouds have dissipated rapidly as sunset approaches. I've recorded a high temp of 62.2F (16.8C), which was nice... but still a few degrees below normal for the middle of March.
The warmest temperature I've recorded this season was 64.2F (17.9C) back on the 3rd of March... but we're getting ready to blow that out of the water this weekend. All signs continue to point to a very aggressive warming trend building northward across most of north India during the coming several days... and even if it gets tempered by our mountain-effect cloud and shower machine, it's likely that we'll be reaching 21C (70F) and even higher by Sunday and Monday. Overnight low temps will be mild as well, which may finally put our heaters into retirement for the year.
I am always concerned about what the mountain micro-climate factors are going to do when we get a weather pattern overhaul like this... so be prepared for a few periods of clouds or a sudden shower or thundershower as punctuation marks amidst the sunshine during the coming days...
