Uttarakhand is expected to experience dry weather across all 13 districts on 7 November, according to the forecast issued by the India Meteorological Department’s Dehradun centre. No district-specific warning has been issued, and rain or snowfall is not expected in either the plains or the mountain areas.
The main weather-related concern is fog in some valleys of the hill districts. Light to moderate fog may develop during the morning and late-night hours, potentially reducing visibility on valley routes. People travelling through these areas should remain cautious, particularly when driving during those periods.
Fog possible in mountain valleys
The forecast indicates that local conditions may produce fog in valleys across districts including Dehradun, Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Tehri, Pauri, Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Almora and Champawat. The intensity and coverage may vary from one valley to another.
The forecast does not indicate rainfall in these districts. Instead, the state is likely to continue under predominantly dry conditions as November progresses and residents await rain and snowfall.
Day temperatures remain relatively high
Temperature readings over the previous 24 hours showed no major change across the state. Maximum temperatures in the plains ranged from normal to above normal, while hill areas recorded maximum temperatures from normal to considerably above normal.
This means daytime conditions may continue to feel warmer than expected for November, especially in the hills. The plains may also experience noticeable warmth during the day despite cooler conditions at other times.
In Dehradun, the sky is expected to remain mainly clear on 7 November. The city’s maximum temperature may be around 29 degrees Celsius, while the minimum could remain near 15 degrees Celsius.
On 6 November, Dehradun recorded a maximum temperature of 28.6 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of 15.6 degrees Celsius. No rainfall was recorded in Dehradun, Pantnagar, Mukteshwar or New Tehri from morning 8:30 AM to evening 5:30 AM.
What residents can expect
The latest forecast points to 2 contrasting conditions. Mountain valleys may see reduced visibility during the morning and late night because of fog, while the plains and higher areas may continue to feel comparatively warm during the day.
The weather department has not issued any warning for the following day. Residents and travellers should nevertheless account for changing visibility on valley roads and the dry conditions expected across the state.
Conclusion
Uttarakhand is likely to remain dry on 7 November, with no rain or snowfall forecast. Fog may affect some mountain valleys during the morning and late night, while daytime temperatures are expected to stay relatively warm.
