IMD forecasts rain, snow in Himachal Pradesh on December 4-5

India Nov 30, 2025

Heads up, Himachal! The IMD says rain is coming to the mid-hills and light snow is likely up in the higher spots on December 4 and 5.
After days of dry weather, this change should finally bring some winter vibes.
Lower areas will stay mostly dry until December 3.

Why bother?

Expect temperatures to dip by a few degrees—think chilly mornings between -4.8°C (Kukumseri) and 12.7°C (Nahan).
While Shimla usually sees just a couple of rainy or snowy days in December, this round of wet weather matters for winter crops and orchards.
If you're traveling or living higher up, get ready for colder days and be aware that snowfall can sometimes cause travel disruptions.
