Himachal weather: Snow on high passes, hail in lower areas
Himachal Pradesh has seen a sudden change in weather, with snow falling on high passes and hail in lower areas. Snow was recorded on the Rohtang, Kunzum, Baralacha and Shinkula passes, while hail was reported in the Kachrang area of Kinnaur district's Nichar region.
The minimum temperature in Kukumseri dropped to 1.9 degrees Celsius. The Shimla Meteorological Centre has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms in some places on 13 and 14 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The yellow alert for 13 to 14 October signals the possibility of localised disruption, particularly for travellers and those in exposed areas. The snow on high passes is a seasonal marker, but the hail in lower-lying Kinnaur indicates the weather change is not confined to the peaks. With Kukumseri already near freezing, the alert period will show whether this cold spell deepens or eases.
