Light rain and snowfall expected across Himachal Pradesh today

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather advisory for Himachal Pradesh, forecasting light rain across most districts and isolated snow showers in higher elevations later today. Temperatures are expected to dip to near‑freezing levels in the hilltops, while valleys will remain mild with occasional drizzle.
Travelers are advised to exercise caution on mountain roads, as wet conditions may reduce visibility and increase the risk of landslides. Local transport operators have been instructed to monitor the situation and suspend services on routes deemed unsafe.
Farmers in the region have been warned that the sudden precipitation could affect early‑season crops, and the IMD recommends protective measures for vulnerable fields. Residents are also urged to stay updated through official channels and avoid non‑essential outings during periods of snowfall.
The advisory remains in effect until the evening, after which conditions are expected to improve as the rain tapers off and temperatures rise slightly.
