Residents of Dehradun and several parts of Uttarakhand should prepare for continued rainfall as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted light to moderate rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds across the state over the coming days.
Rain and Thunderstorms Expected in Dehradun
According to the IMD, Dehradun, Tehri, Pauri, Haridwar, Nainital, Udham Singh Nagar, and Champawat are likely to experience light to moderate rainfall along with thunderstorms. Some areas may also witness lightning and strong winds reaching speeds of 40-50 kmph.
In higher-altitude regions above 4,400 meters, rain may be accompanied by snowfall and thunderstorm activity.
Heavy Rain Brings Relief From Heat
The weather forecast follows heavy rainfall that recently swept across Dehradun, bringing much-needed relief from the summer heat. Areas including Garhi Cantt recorded significant rainfall as temperatures dropped and pleasant weather conditions returned to the city.
Rainfall to Continue Till June 17
The IMD expects rain and thunderstorm activity to continue across Uttarakhand throughout the week.
June 12: Most districts including Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Bageshwar, and Pithoragarh are likely to receive widespread rainfall.
June 13: Rain and thunderstorms are expected in many hilly districts, while Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar may receive isolated showers.
June 14: Rainfall will mainly affect hill regions, with isolated showers possible in the plains.
June 15 to June 17: Light to moderate rain is likely to continue in Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Bageshwar, and Pithoragarh. Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar are expected to remain mostly dry.
Western Disturbance Behind the Wet Spell
The ongoing weather activity is being driven by a Western Disturbance affecting Northwest India. The IMD has forecast widespread rain, thunderstorms, hailstorms, and strong winds across several northern states until June 13.
Rain Likely Across North India
Apart from Uttarakhand, rainfall activity is also expected to increase across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. The showers are likely to provide relief from the intense heat experienced across North India in recent weeks.
Travel Advisory for Tourists
