The temperature in Himachal Pradesh is rising gradually. Because of the current situations, the highest temperature this season reached 40 degrees for the first time.
In several regions of Himachal Pradesh, the highest temperature reached above 40 degrees for the first time this season. On Wednesday, a heat wave hit various parts of Una, Kangra, Bilaspur, Hamirpur, Mandi, Sirmaur, and Solan. Shimla had the highest temperature in five years on Wednesday, while Una recorded 17, Kangra seven, and Una seventeen. A yellow signal has been issued by the Meteorological Center Shimla, indicating that the state is facing a heat wave until June 16.
In addition to the plain sections, the steep regions are blazing hot. The plain districts suffer from a terrible heat wave. Because the minimum temperature has increased, the heat continues to exist even at night. However, certain locations may see rain today and tomorrow due to the activities of the western disturbance. It’s likely that the terrible weather continues in certain regions on June 18 and 19.
On Wednesday, the highest temperature ever recorded in Shimla, the capital, was 30.5 degrees. Prior to this, June 2019 had a high temperature of 30.5.
