The provincial State capital Dehradun and various other parts of the State have continued to experience above normal temperatures even with the start of November. However, parts of Kumaon may witness a change in weather on Sunday. The State meteorological centre has forecast that very light to light rain is likely to occur in Bageshwar and Pithoragarh districts today. Dry weather is likely to prevail in the remaining districts of the State.
The meteorological centre has further forecast that Dehradun is likely to witness a mainly clear sky with mist/haze likely to occur during the morning hours. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be about 30 degrees Celsius and 17 degrees Celsius respectively in Dehradun on Sunday. There appears to be no respite from above normal temperatures in Dehradun in the immediate future.
The maximum and minimum temperatures recorded on Saturday in various parts of the State were 30.7 degrees Celsius and 16.1 degrees Celsius respectively in Dehradun, 31 degrees Celsius and 16.6 degrees Celsius in Pantnagar, 20.6 degrees Celsius ad 11.1 degrees Celsius in Mukteshwar and 22.8 degrees Celsius and 11.7 degrees Celsius in New Tehri. The temperatures in all of these locations have remained above normal. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Dehradun were three degrees Celsius each above normal in Dehradun while the maximum was two degrees Celsius and the minimum was four degrees Celsius above normal in Pantnagar. Similarly, the maximum was two degrees Celsius above normal and the minimum was four degrees above normal in Mukteshwar while the maximum was a degree above normal and the minimum was three degrees above normal in New Tehri on Saturday. It is pertinent to mention here that the substantial deficit of rainfall and snow in the post-monsoon season in Uttarakhand this year has resulted in above normal temperatures in most parts of the State. With the start of November, proper cold is yet to arrive in most parts of the State unlike the scenario in general.
