On May 1, Mussoorie, located in Uttarakhand, India, witnessed a significant drop in temperature to 15°C due to widespread rain and hailstorms, offering relief after a period of intense heat reaching 40°C in the plains. This sudden change is attributed to an active western disturbance affecting various regions, including Dehradun, Tehri, and Chamoli, which have experienced cloudy skies and strong winds. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for districts like Dehradun and Nainital, advising residents and travelers to exercise caution during thunderstorms due to risks of lightning and strong winds. Although this weather pattern provides a temporary respite from the heat, meteorologists predict that the cooler conditions will last only a few days, with more rain and potential snowfall expected around May 3-5.
