PNS | DEHRADUN
The winter chill in December generally affected the daily routine of people in Dehradun and other parts of the State. However, the temperatures this year have remained above normal in Dehradun and other parts of the State. The lack of snowfall and rain in the winter are stated to be the main reasons for the lack of winter chill.
Apart from this, the air quality index in November was also the worst experienced in Dehradun in about 10 years. This too was attributed to the lack of rainfall which exacerbated the pollution caused by the usual factors including vehicular emissions and the illegal burning of garbage including plastics. The weather is expected to remain the same in the coming days with no probability of snowfall or rain in the coming days.
The State meteorological centre has forecast the dry weather is likely to prevail in all the districts of the State on Wednesday.
