 Upcoming Weather Conditions in North India: Heavy Rainfall Expected Due to Western Disturbance

North India is set to experience a fresh spell of rainfall as a western disturbance is approaching the region. This system is likely to bring widespread rain and snow to various parts, especially over the hilly areas of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir.

Heavy Rainfall Alert for Manali and Dharamshala

According to weather models, Manali, Dharamshala, and surrounding regions are expected to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall over the next few days. The strong impact of the western disturbance, combined with moisture incursion from the Arabian Sea, will enhance precipitation levels. This could lead to temporary disruptions in travel due to waterlogging, landslides, and slippery road conditions.

Impact on Plains and Other Hilly Regions

• Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh: Moderate to heavy snowfall is expected in higher altitudes, which may affect road connectivity, especially on key passes and highways.
• Himachal Pradesh: Heavy rain and snowfall may disrupt normal life in Manali, Kufri, and surrounding areas. Cold temperatures will persist, and tourists should be cautious while traveling.
• Uttarakhand: Places like Mussoorie, Nainital, and Chamoli may also witness moderate to heavy rain with snowfall in the upper reaches.
• Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR: These regions are expected to witness light to moderate rain, leading to a slight dip in temperatures. Fog conditions may return once the weather system moves away.

Precautionary Measures

• Travelers heading to hilly areas should check weather forecasts before planning trips.
• Residents in landslide-prone zones should remain alert for any advisories from local authorities.
• Farmers should take necessary precautions to protect their crops from excessive rain and snowfall.

This spell of rain will play a crucial role in maintaining the winter moisture balance across North India, impacting both agriculture and water reservoirs positively. Stay tuned for further updates on this weather event.
