Sunday's stats:
Low temp: 54.5F (12.5C) -- coolest of the season
High temp: 64.9F (18.3C)
Rainfall: none
It is hazy but mostly clear just after sunset this evening. Today was a little different than the last several days, as afternoon cloudiness began dissipating quite early -- before 4pm -- leaving us with mostly clear skies as evening set in. For one of the very few times this season, it seems that there was more sunshine than clouds today. I did hear a couple of rumbles of thunder around 3:15-3:30pm up-mountain from us, but there was no rain in McLeod Ganj for the seventh day in a row.
An increasingly prevalent west-northwesterly flow in the upper atmosphere is becoming established across the western Himalayan region, keeping us dry, as it ushers in progressively cooler air. Lingering low-level moisture and some marginal instability is preventing us from enjoying totally blue skies, but we are certainly experiencing much better weather than we were just a couple of weeks ago. Though rainfall was way above normal during the first 10-15 days of October, it has been very sparse in most areas since then.
Seasonally normal conditions are expected for much of the new week -- with sunshine continuing to alternate with occasional periods of cloudiness, and temps dipping another couple of degrees. There's still a stronger upper-level disturbance on the way for late Wednesday through Thursday which could bring us a better chance of a few scattered rain showers to end the month.
