Saturday's stats:
Low temp: 58.1F (14.5C)
High temp: 70.0F (21.1C)
Rainfall: none
The sky is mostly clear to the west this evening, which has allowed us another in a string of gorgeous sunsets -- but there are still some clouds and even a bit of patchy fog hanging along the hills to the north and east. The proportion of sunshine today increased yet again, with the afternoon clouds remaining fairly close to the Dhauladhars and not really eclipsing the sun very much here in the immediate McLeod area. I recorded a high temp of exactly 70F for the third day in a row -- which is kind of strange, but certainly not bad news at all. There was no rain at all today (also for the third straight day), and the total for the entire past week is now only one-tenth of an inch (3mm).
Well I can't say that we've arrived at perfection, but we are certainly in the midst of very pleasant autumn weather conditions, and have obviously shaken off (finally) the stubborn moisture that was anchored over northern India for weeks longer than it should have been. There's still kind of a pesky upper-level disturbance lingering over Jammu & Kashmir, that has been defying computer model projections that it was going to scoot off to the east very quickly. It has kept some marginal instability in play over the mountains of north India, along with some isolated showers/thunder in the very high elevations. All indications point to continued improvement to that situation as a more general ridge of high pressure aloft builds in during the next 48 hours or so.
There are still no major reversals showing up on the weather charts as we head toward the end of October. So -- we should continue to enjoy plenty of sunshine, temps near to slightly above seasonal norms, and only a slight chance of some of that afternoon action over the mountain peaks drifting downhill. All in all -- very close to how it should be this time of year.
