The Uttarakhand Weather Department has issued a forecast indicating rain and snowfall across the state’s hill districts in the coming days.
The Uttarakhand News Network reported that the state’s meteorological authorities have issued a weather advisory for the hill districts, predicting intermittent rain and snowfall over the next 48 hours.
The forecast indicates that precipitation will be more pronounced in higher‑altitude areas, with temperatures expected to dip to near‑freezing levels, raising the likelihood of snow in zones above 2,000 metres.
Officials have urged residents to take precautionary steps, such as avoiding non‑essential travel on mountain roads, securing livestock, and staying tuned to local alerts.
The weather pattern is linked to an incoming western disturbance that will bring moisture‑laden winds across the Himalayas, a typical pre‑winter system for the region.
The department will continue to monitor conditions and provide further updates as the situation develops.
