Further, we expect day temperatures to fall significantly due to rainfall and cloud cover. Contrary to this, minimum temperatures will witness an upward trend.
By January 6, this Western Disturbance is most likely to move away eastwards, paving way for dry weather to return over the northern hills, namely Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
What’s more, maximum temperatures will also start mounting, but night temperatures will drop. Snowfall will occur but intensity will remain light to moderate and heavy to very heavy snow is ruled out. However, there are still likelihoods of landslides over the region. So, travelers are advised to stay aware and cautious.
