Intermittent heavy rain and showers lashed Himachal Pradesh over the past 24 hours, bringing much-needed relief from the summer heat and transforming the weather across the hill state. The state capital, Shimla, witnessed continuous rainfall throughout the period, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The IMD reported that the rainfall was widespread, with several districts receiving significant precipitation. This has helped lower temperatures, which had been above normal in recent weeks. The weather department has issued a yellow alert for heavy rain in isolated places over the next 24 hours.
No major incidents of damage or disruption have been reported so far. The rain is expected to continue, providing further respite from the heat. Local authorities are monitoring the situation and have advised residents to stay cautious in low-lying areas.
