There is possibility of hailstorm in parts of Himachal and Uttarakhand during this period. This is an active Western Disturbance therefore the higher reaches of all the three states may receive snowfall as well.

By May 25, the Western Disturbance will start moving away but the remnants of this system will give light scattered rains over all the three hill states.
After the passage of this Western Disturbance, the weather will clear up by May 26. Temperatures will also start rising. The next Western Disturbance is now expected to affect the region in the month of June. The remaining days of May are likely to remain clear with bright sunshine.
