Rain showers also lashed Shimla and its surrounding areas this morning, bringing down the day temperature in the region. The rain was considered good for sowing of ‘Kharif crop’ and scarcity of water in the state.
The Met office attributed Western Disturbances for inclement weather which would further bring rain or snow in few parts of high reaches and rain or thundershowers in middle hills. However, weather would be mainly dry in the rest of state for next 24 hours.
