The maximum temperatures are near normal at present. However, the State meteorological centre has forecast that the maximum temperatures are likely to increase gradually and reach five to six degrees Celsius above normal at a few places around June 12. This comes when the maximum temperatures have once again started to climb after remaining lower than normal for a few days due to spells of rain in the recent past.

Apart from this, dry weather is likely to prevail in the remaining districts of the State today.
The provisional State capital Dehradun is likely to witness mainly clear to partly cloudy skies. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be about 36 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius respectively in Dehradun today.
