Dehradun, January 23: The weather in Uttarakhand has undergone a noticeable change, with cloudy skies and a nip in the air marking the day. Sunlight filtering through the clouds has brought a brief respite, but the chill has intensified, especially in the hilly regions where cold winds are sweeping through.
The Meteorological Department has issued a forecast indicating light rainfall in several districts, including Dehradun, Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Haridwar, Bageshwar, and Pithoragarh.
