The hilly states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh have been witnessing very good rains since many days. These rains were due to the Western Disturbance which was prevailing over East Jammu and Kashmir. The axis of Monsoon trough is also passing through the foothills of Himalayas.

Due to the combined effect of both these weather systems, moderate to heavy rains occurred at many places over Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It is anticipated that these rains will continue as the axis of Monsoon trough is likely to prevail over the region for the next 24 to 48 hours.
We expect moderate rains at many places with isolated heavy showers to occur at a few places over Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Though the Western Disturbance which was prevailing over East Jammu and Kashmir is moving away, another fresh Western Disturbance is likely to affect the Western Himalayan region after 24 hours.
Therefore, heavy rainfall is likely to continue for the next 24 to 48 hours. In the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Friday, Haridwar in Uttarakhand recorded heavy rain of 148. 8 mm,Dehradun87 mm, Almora 55 mm, Tehri 46 mm, Mukestehwar 27 mm, Mussoorie 30 mm and Nainital 25 mm of rain.
In the same span of time, Nahan in Himachal Pradesh recorded 103.8 mm of rain, Sundernagar 66.4 mm, Solan 52.6 mm, Dharamsala 38 mm, Una 71 mm,Shimla17 mm,Mandi16 mm of rain. Presently, both the states are normal in terms of rainfall but it is anticipated that they will become rain surplus due to these continuous hefty rains.
