India
Heads up, Himachal Pradesh!
The Shimla weather office has put out a thunderstorm alert for Chamba, Kangra, Kullu, Mandi, and Shimla.
Expect lightning and gusty winds (up to 50 kph) from Wednesday, with storms expected on March 11, 12 and 14 before calming down by the 15th.
Meanwhile, the state has been unusually dry lately
Even with this storm warning, most of Himachal has been unusually dry lately, think heat wave vibes in places like Sundernagar and Bhuntar.
Una just hit a daytime high of 34.7 Celsius while Tabo shivered at night with just 2.2 Celsius.
The state hasn't seen a drop of rain since March began (normally it gets around 35mm by now), showing just how much the weather's been flipping lately.
