However, as the Western Disturbance is now moving away, the rainfall activity is likely to reduce over the hilly states. Moreover, the cyclonic circulation over Punjab has also become insignificant now which is also one of the reasons for the reduction in rainfall activities over Northern hills.
The maximum temperature due to reduced rainfall activities will rise over Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. However, scattered light rain will continue over the eastern parts of Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Uttarakhand can brace for some light to moderate rains for the next 24 hours, reducing gradually by Monday. However, morning will be pleasant over hills with cool and dry winds.
