Snowfall in the upper reaches of Himachal Pradesh has caused a noticeable drop in temperatures across the region.
Snowfall descended on the higher reaches of Himachal Pradesh early today, covering the hills with a fresh white blanket. The weather system brought light to moderate snow to several districts that lie above 3,000 metres.
Meteorological officials reported that the sudden snow has pushed temperatures down by several degrees, with night‑time lows approaching near‑freezing levels in the affected zones. Residents in the high‑altitude villages reported a sharp chill compared with the milder conditions earlier in the week.
State disaster management teams have been placed on alert, monitoring road conditions and the possibility of localized disruptions. Authorities have advised travelers to exercise caution, avoid non‑essential movement in snow‑covered areas, and stay updated with official weather bulletins.
