The minimum temperature dropped notably, settling at 16.5°C in Dharamsala, 9.8°C in McLeodganj, 11.5°C in Palampur, 15.3°C in Kangra, 16.8°C in Chamba, 8.6°C in Dalhousie and 13°C in Bharmour.

Intermittent showers continued through the morning in several parts of the region, leading to the formation of dense fog that blanketed the upper reaches of the mountains. The Dhauladhar ranges, capped with a fresh layer of snow, presented a spectacular view, drawing tourists and photographers alike.

The change in weather has brought relief to residents and visitors in Dharamsala, where unseasonably warm and humid conditions had prevailed in recent days. Locals described the sudden cold as a “welcome sign” of the approaching winter season, while tourism operators expect a rise in weekend tourist inflow following the scenic snowfall on the high hills.
