Uttarakhand Weather: Mercury drops… Temperatures have also dropped for a few days, but we will have to wait for rain and snowfall.

Snowfall begins in the higher elevations of Uttarakhand in early November. This impacts temperatures in the plains, and cold winds can be a source of discomfort both morning and evening, but not this time.

Over the past few days, morning and evening temperatures have been dropping, but we’ll have to wait for rain across the state and snowfall in the mountainous districts. Meteorologists say that rain causes a rapid drop in temperatures, and snowfall occurs only after temperatures reach freezing point.

In fact, so far, the high altitude areas across the state have only experienced snowfall once or twice. Snowfall in Uttarakhand’s high altitude regions begins as early as November. This impacts the temperatures in the plains, and cold winds are a source of discomfort both morning and evening, but the lack of rain after the monsoon’s departure has made the temperatures unsuitable for snowfall.

According to a bulletin issued by the Meteorological Department on Sunday, the weather will remain dry across the state. Dehradun is also expected to have mostly clear skies. The maximum temperature is expected to be around 26 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature around nine degrees Celsius
