According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the last instance of such an exceptionally dry November was in 2016 when no rainfall was recorded across any observatory in the state.
Kuldeep Srivastava, head of IMD Himachal Pradesh, confirmed that the ongoing dry spell mirrors the 2016 scenario, with little to no rainfall reported across the region this November.
"Our records from 2016 show that none of the observatories reported normal rainfall during that November. This year is shaping up similarly, with the state remaining mostly dry. The upcoming forecast also indicates no significant rainfall over the next three to five days," said Dr Srivastava.
Although there is a possibility of light rainfall on November 23 in higher-altitude areas like Lahaul Spiti, Chamba, and parts of Kangra, the impact of the current western disturbances remains minimal.
