The state’s weather department warns that the upcoming monsoon will be below normal, while temperatures are set to climb higher than usual.
The Himachal Pradesh Meteorological Department has issued a forecast indicating that the monsoon this year will be weak, with rainfall expected to fall below the state’s average levels.
Temperature readings taken in early June show a steady rise, pushing daily maximums above the typical range for this time of year.
Officials caution that the twin challenge of reduced rainfall and higher heat could strain water reservoirs and affect sowing schedules for farmers, urging the adoption of water‑saving practices.
The department will provide weekly updates and advises residents to stay alert to heat‑related health risks, especially in low‑lying valleys.
