more gorgeousness... (pm.28.nov.13)>

Thursday's stats:

Low temp: 50.2F (10.1C)
High temp: 59.2F (15.1C)
Rainfall: none

As far as I am aware, it was 100% sunny today -- without even the smallest wisp of a high cloud or the tiniest trace of cumulus development over the mountains.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING to my American friends who either celebrated today here in India, are celebrating tonight, or will be celebrating as the day rolls around to your time zone.  It has certainly been a fine one here, with pleasant temps and comfortable humidity to go along with the sunshine.

Today was the 20th day in a row without rainfall here in McLeod Ganj, which is quite an accomplishment after the kind of monsoon and post-monsoon months that we had to endure this year.  We've also had more sun in the last 15-20 days than we were able to enjoy in the previous four or five months combined, I would venture to say.

There are some minor wiggles in the upper-level wind pattern which will be flowing across and over northern India during the coming several days, but nothing at all that suggests an end to this superb late autumn weather.  Sunshine will continue to dominate, but there could still be the occasional wave or two of thin, high clouds here and there.  Only minor temperature fluctuations have been observed recently, and it looks like we'll remain just slightly above seasonal averages as December arrives... with perhaps a bit of a drop next week.
