Dehradun. Although in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand (Uttarakhand Weather Today), the heat is still felt due to bright sunshine during the day, but cold has started spreading in the hilly areas of Devbhoomi. Due to cold winds blowing in the lake city of Nainital, even the sunlight became weak. The sun, which used to play hide and seek in the sky, sometimes hides behind the clouds and sometimes shows bright sunlight. Frost and fog are adding to both the cold and discomfort.
