A western disturbance over northern India triggered moderate rainfall across Himachal Pradesh today, affecting several districts.
A western disturbance that settled over the northern Indian subcontinent this morning produced measurable rain across the hilly terrain of Himachal Pradesh. Meteorological departments noted that the system, characterised by moist air flowing from the west, intensified as it moved over the Himalayas, resulting in scattered showers.
The rainfall was reported in districts such as Shimla, Kullu, and Mandi, with accumulations ranging from 5 to 15 millimetres in the most affected areas. Local authorities issued advisories for travelers to exercise caution on mountain roads, where wet conditions could increase the risk of landslides and reduced visibility.
Weather forecasters expect the western disturbance to linger over the region for the next 24 to 36 hours, potentially bringing additional showers to higher elevations. However, the intensity is likely to diminish by the weekend as the system moves eastward, allowing a return to clearer skies.
