The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Monsoon has turned active again across several northern Indian states after a western disturbance and a low-pressure area near the Arabian Sea influenced the weather.
- The season's first snowfall was recorded in the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, including peaks near Badrinath, Kedarnath and Yamunotri Dham.
- Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan saw heavy rain at many places, accompanied by thunder, lightning and strong winds.
- Cold has increased in lower areas of the hill states following the sudden change in weather.
- The early snowfall and widespread rain matter because they signal a sharp shift in conditions across Uttarakhand to Kashmir and affect travel and daily life in the hills and plains.
What to watch next
- Whether the western disturbance and low-pressure area continue to bring rain and snow to the plains and hills in the coming days
- Impact of snowfall on high-altitude pilgrimage routes such as Badrinath, Kedarnath and Yamunotri
