Monday's stats:
Low temp: 54.9F (12.7C)
High temp: 73.4F (23.0C)
Rainfall since 6:30am: 0.02" (less than 1mm)
24 hour rainfall: 0.66" (1.7cm)
A very pleasant evening is underway, with partly cloudy skies and comfortable temperatures. Of course our Monday didn't start out that way, with lots of clouds and some light rain showers early this morning which didn't allow any sunshine to peek through until around 10:30am or so. But during the noon hour we finally got the sun to take over, and our skies were partly to mostly sunny for most of the remainder of the day. Even so, we had a lot of catching up to do, temperature-wise, and it stayed well below normal for the season... though pleasantly mild.
According to all the data, we should be transitioning into a more stable phase of weather during the next 24 hours, which should last until about Friday. We could still get some thundershower development tonight, but warmer air arriving throughout all layers of the atmosphere should settle things down starting tomorrow (Tues). There could still be an isolated/random thundershower popping up mainly during the afternoon/evening hours through Friday, but for the most part it looks like we'll be enjoying generally dry and much warmer conditions. I'm a little blown away with the temperatures being projected by some of the computer model data across northwest India between Wednesday and Saturday -- if it comes true, then we'll have the highest temps of the season and the year, along with higher humidity readings as well. That means it could be quite uncomfortable for a few days before rain chances start increasing again. Anyway, that's what the data/charts are saying now, but we'll have to watch how it evolves.
If you are interested in how the monsoon is advancing, you can follow AWAITING MONSOON 2015 on the tab above -- but I'll just remind you that we are now only about ten days to two weeks from the normal/average monsoon onset date here in the Dharamsala area. Also, THE 7-DAY OUTLOOK details can be found on another tab at the top of the page.
