Dehradun: The weather has remained dry in Uttarakhand for the last few days and there is no possibility of rain or snowfall in the coming week. According to Bikram Singh, Director of Meteorological Center based in Dehradun, at present there is not much impact of western disturbance in the state.

Despite the drop in temperature, we will still have to wait for snowfall.
When will it snow in Uttarakhand?
According to the Meteorological Department, western disturbance may become active in Uttarakhand around December 15, due to which there will be a possibility of snowfall in the hilly areas. Director Bikram Singh said that at present the effect of western disturbance is visible in Jammu-Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. In Uttarakhand, its effect can be seen in the form of clouds between 1-2 December, but the possibility of rain or snowfall is less.
Decline in rain…direct impact on snowfall
At present, there has been a shortage of rain, which has a direct impact on snowfall. According to weather experts, cold and snowfall will intensify only when there is good rainfall. In the months of January and February, the effect of cold is greater and the temperature reaches its lowest level.

Despite the cold, people will have to wait for snowfall. In such a situation, tourists and local people should keep an eye on the possibilities after December 15.
