After a white Christmas, it’s time for a snow clad New Years in Shimla, adding to the delight of tourists flocking the hill stations of Himachal Pradesh. Few other places in the state such as Kullu, Manali, Rohtang Pass, Lahaul and Spiti will also receive snowfall.
A fairly good Western Disturbance will start affecting weather from today onwards and will bring snow and rain in the lower hills just before the New Year’s celebrations. At present the maximum and minimum temperatures in Shimla are 13 degrees and 1 degree, respectively.
Tourists here should start bracing up for cold wave conditions as night temperatures may fall to sub-zero levels. Day temperature in Shimla will come down below 5 degrees. We expect a cloud cover in another 24 hours, gradually reducing the diurnal variation of temperatures. Hoteliers here are hoping that tourists will throng in large numbers, ahead of New Year’s.
