There is a sudden change in the weather patterns across the country. On one hand, the process of departure of south-west monsoon has started from many northern and western parts of the country, on the other hand, cold winter has arrived in the high hilly areas of North India before time. The minimum temperature in Manali, the world famous tourist destination of Himachal Pradesh, has fallen to 3 degrees Celsius, making the nights there very cold. On the other hand, due to the new weather system (depression) formed in the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert of strong storm, thunderstorm and torrential rain in 13 states of the country.
In the higher reaches of the Himalayan states of North India, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir, night temperatures are falling drastically due to the influence of western disturbances and cold winds. The minimum temperature in Manali has dropped sharply to as low as 3 degrees Celsius, forcing locals and tourists to remove heavy woolens and heaters in the month of September itself. Strong winds are blowing with clouds in many areas of Shimla, Kullu, Srinagar, Dehradun and Nainital.
The Meteorological Department has warned of rain with strong thunderstorm in the hilly areas. Along with this, in view of the possibility of falling rocks and landslides on the sensitive roads at high altitude, the administration has strongly advised tourists and local residents to avoid unnecessary travel and not to go close to rivers and streams.
Amidst the falling mercury on the mountains, another form of monsoon is being seen in the eastern and central states of the country.
