warming trend ahead... (am.6.nov.11)>

it's clear and cool just before sunrise this morning.  my low temp has been 52.3F (11.3C), with a current humidity reading of 52%.  there has been no rainfall in the past 24 hours.

it looks like we are heading into a stretch of weather that will be absolutely beautiful... and eventually, quite a bit warmer than normal for november.  a big, sprawling area of high pressure from the surface into the upper atmosphere is developing, and should dominate all of nothern india for most of the coming week.  we are likely to see almost unlimited sunshine, low humidity, with the chance of any rain: virtually zero.  that doesn't happen too often here along the front slopes of the dhauladars.  even up at the highest elevations, it should be about as dry and (relatively) warm as it ever gets during this time of year.

of course, on the edge of the himalayas, there is always the potential for surprises (both good and bad), and things can change in a heartbeat... so check back here as we see if this sunny and unusually warm scenario actually plays out in reality!
