According to the Meteorological Department, partly cloudy skies and light rain or snowfall are expected in the mountainous regions today. Snowfall is likely in areas above 3,500 meters, particularly in Uttarkashi, Chamoli and Pithoragarh districts. Scattered fog is possible in the plains, especially in Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar.
