It's quite hazy early this morning, but the sun is shining, and temperatures are already on the rise. My overnight low temp here on Tushita Road below the mountaineering center has been 69.8F (21.0C), and there has been no rainfall.
High pressure aloft is already building back into north India, as yesterday's weak upper-level disturbance lifts northeastward and fizzles out. There may be some lingering colder air in the upper-atmosphere today which could set off an isolated shower or thundershower over the mountains, but most of us should be unaffected. Instead, it looks like we're in for an extended stretch of quiet weather which will feature hazy sunshine and nothing more than a few clouds from time to time. The flow of air up at the jetstream level is going to be practically dead -- fairly typical for this stage of the summer season as we see June on the horizon.
Temperatures will remain near the peak of the entire year as we head through the week. At my reporting location, the highest temp has been 89.4F (31.9C), which occurred this past Friday. We stand a good chance of going beyond that during the next several days. If you plan to be heading down to Kangra, expect temps in the range of 104-107F (40-42C)... about the warmest it gets in our part of the world!
