Sunshine and clouds in Dehradun
In Dehradun, the capital city, residents witnessed bright sunshine on Tuesday morning, which led to a rise in temperatures. Clouds appeared intermittently, creating a game of hide and seek between sun and shade. By evening, cloud cover raised hopes of rain, but no rainfall occurred. The absence of rain has resulted in rising maximum and minimum temperatures across both plains and hills.
Heat during the day caused health problems for many
The strong sunlight during the day is making conditions uncomfortable. The fluctuating weather—hot during the day and cool at night—is causing health problems for many. Doctors report an increase in patients suffering from cold, cough, fever, and joint pain. Many people have stopped wearing warm clothes due to the daytime heat, but the sudden temperature changes are affecting their health.
Forecast for the coming days
The Meteorological Center has forecast that the weather will remain dry across Uttarakhand for the next two days. From Friday onwards, clouds will increase in the mountainous districts, with chances of light rain and snowfall. Meanwhile, the plains will continue to experience bright sunshine and rising temperatures.
Impact on daily life
Residents in Dehradun and nearby areas are enjoying the sunny mornings but are also concerned about the rising heat. Farmers in the hilly regions are keeping a close watch on the forecast, as rainfall could affect crops. Families are advised to take precautions against sudden weather changes, especially during the ongoing exam season when children are vulnerable to health issues.
