The people of Uttarakhand, especially those living in mountainous parts, may get relief from the hot weather in the coming days. The weatherman says that things would cool as it would rain after April 16.
The Meteorological Centre has forecast light rain/thunder shower at isolated places, especially in Uttarakashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag and Pithoragarh for at least three days starting from April 16.
People living in the plains would also get relief a bit too due to the likely rain in the hills. However, the weather would remain dry on Friday.
The Met officials said that the approach of western disturbances would spawn the light rain/thunder shower for three days.
Mercury soaring in Dehradun, traffic is found thinning in the day hours. There would be no respite from the heat on Friday. Meteorological centre director Bikram Singh said that weather forecast in Dehradun on Friday is clear becoming partly cloudy sky towards afternoon and evening. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 36ºC and 17ºC, respectively, in Dehradun on Friday, he said, adding that the rain that the hills would have would lessen the heat for Dehradun too to some extent.
