Friday night saw thunderstorms and some milder air move across the region. Unfortunately it washed away a fair bit of the snow up on Youtei. Last night had a few more showers move through that did fall as snow up high so Youtei still has a light dusting of the white stuff.

Went for a walk out along the Western end of the Annupri Range today and we had some great weather with temps up around 7 degrees at 1000m (I've posted some photos). The colour in the forests higher up is nearing it's peak and in another week or so the colour at village level will near it's best. Autumn is without doubt one of the most beautiful times in the region.

Apart from a little rain tomorrow the outlook is for fairly stable weather. Cool to cold nights with days into the mid teens for much of the coming week. In 4-5 weeks we should start seeing snow to sea level so a little mild weather for the next week or so won't go unappreciated by the locals.
