Hills in north India are blanketed in fresh snow as a Western disturbance sweeps the region, causing widespread rain in the plains.
This unusual weather phenomenon has brought joy to skiers and snowboarders, who are making the most of the powdery snow.
Snowfall in the Hills
The Western disturbance has brought snowfall to the hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu and Kashmir, with many areas receiving over a foot of snow.
The snow-capped peaks are a sight to behold, and the region is expected to receive more snow in the coming days.
Rain in the Plains
Meanwhile, the plains of north India have been lashed by heavy rain, causing disruption to daily life.
The rain has caused waterlogging in many areas, and the authorities are working to clear the roads and restore normalcy.
This unusual weather pattern is a result of the Western disturbance, which is a low-pressure system that forms over the Mediterranean Sea.
The system brings moisture from the Arabian Sea, which then cools over the Himalayas, causing snowfall.
While the snowfall is a welcome relief for the hills, it poses a challenge for the plains, where the rain is causing chaos.
The authorities are working to mitigate the impact of the rain and ensure that the situation returns to normal soon.
