SHIMLA: Rains and thunderstorm on Sunday lashed the mid and lower hills of Himachal Pradesh, while high altitude tribal areas received fresh snowfall, causing sharp fall in mercury.

High velocity winds, accompanied by sharp showers lashed several areas in the mid and lower hills, including state capital Shimla, and Manali while intermittent rains are continuing in most parts of the state.

Avalanche threat loomed large over high altitude tribal areas, above 2,500m altitude covered under 20ft to 30ft of snow, as melting of snow in coming days could accelerate glacier movement.

Heavy rains and thunderstorm lashed the mid and lower hills while Shimla and some other places in higher hills were lashed by sleet.

Dark convective clouds overcast the sky, causing fall in day temperature which had crossed 35 degrees Celsius mark in foothills and Una recorded a high of 32.2 degrees Celsius against 35.8 degrees Celsius on Saturday while Nahan and Solan recorded maximum temperature at 26.2 degrees Celsius and 25.6 degrees Celsius, followed by Sundernagar 23.7 degrees Celsius, Dharamshala 23.2 degrees Celsius, Shimla 18.6 degrees Celsius, Bhunter 15.5 degrees Celsius, Kalpa 5.2 degrees Celsius, a drop of three to five degrees Celsius since Saturday.

The local MeT office has warned of heavy to very heavy rains and thunderstorms during next 24 hours and rains and thundershowers in mid and lower hills and rains and snow in higher hills over next six days.

The stormy conditions and rains are considered harmful for wheat crop and stone fruit crops, especially in lower and mid hills.
