IMD forecasts above normal May rainfall across Himachal Pradesh
Heads up, Himachal Pradesh: IMD is predicting more rain than usual this May.
Expect cooler or normal daytime temperatures in the plains and mid-hills, but if you're up in the higher altitudes, things might get warmer.
Nights will mostly stay mild across the state, except in some parts of Chamba and Kangra districts, where they'll feel about average.
