Himachal Pradesh Receives Snowfall and Thunderstorms

On Monday night, Himachal Pradesh’s higher reaches in the Kinnaur, Lahaul and Spiti, Kullu, Mandi, and Shimla districts received mild snowfall, while several areas in the lower hills were lashed by severe thunderstorms accompanied by sharp showers.

High mountain passes, including Rohtang Pass in Kullu, which is also the gateway to Lahaul and Spiti, and Chansel in Shimla, received a mild spell of snow. The fresh spell of snowfall led to a fall in the minimum temperatures, which dropped by 6 to 9 degrees Celsius in the past 24 hours.

Keylong in the tribal Lahaul and Spiti district, with a minimum temperature of 1.1 degrees Celsius, was the coldest place in the state at night.

Confirming snowfall at the higher reaches, the director of the local MeT office, Surinder Paul, said another western disturbance would approach the state from October 14, resulting in snowfall at higher reaches and rainfall in the lower hills.

Another western disturbance is expected to approach the state from October 14, resulting in snowfall at higher reaches and rainfall in the lower hills.

The western disturbances are weather systems that originate in the Mediterranean Sea and bring rain and snow to the northwestern parts of India, including Himachal Pradesh.

The onset of snowfall in Himachal Pradesh typically occurs in late October or November, but this year’s early snowfall is a sign of the changing climate.

The snowfall is a major tourist attraction for Himachal Pradesh, but it can also cause disruptions to transportation and daily life in the higher reaches.
