Snowfall in Himachal's high altitudes lowers temperatures, dry spell from Sept 30

Snowfall has been reported across the high‑altitude zones of Himachal Pradesh, bringing a noticeable dip in daytime temperatures. Local weather stations recorded the coldest readings in recent weeks as the snow settled over the hills.
Meteorological officials warned that the region is likely to experience a dry spell starting on September 30, marking a shift from the lingering monsoon moisture that has affected the state.
The sudden temperature drop and upcoming dry conditions could influence agricultural activities in the valleys and may affect road travel in mountain passes, where snow‑covered routes often pose challenges.
Authorities have advised residents to stay updated with weather advisories and to take precautionary measures, especially in remote areas prone to landslides and reduced visibility.
The forecast underscores the variability of Himachal's climate as winter approaches, with colder weather expected to persist in the higher reaches.
