Dehradun, 29 Sep: Uttarakhand’s weather witnessed a sharp reversal this morning as Dehradun witnessed a sudden and intense downpour, following a week of uninterrupted sunshine. The shift in the weather conditions was visible last night when the sky became overcast with clouds, and this culminated in heavy rainfall during the early hours today. The rain resulted in a noticeable drop in temperature. Several areas in the state capital, including Clock Tower, Rajpur Road, and EC Road, also suffered waterlogging and the life came to a standstill due to waterlogging till the rains lasted.
According to the Meteorological Department, although the Monsoon has formally exited the region, minor weather disturbances may still be observed in isolated pockets, which are categorised as Post-Monsoon phenomena. The Department has indicated that there is no significant atmospheric instability at present that would necessitate a major alert or warning. However, moderate to intense rainfall may still occur in select areas, particularly following prolonged dry conditions, as was evident by today’s showers.
