Himachal Pradesh: Himachal Pradesh will also receive its share of the winter bounty, with rain and snowfall expected on December 17. The higher reaches of the state, like Rohtang Pass and Manali, are likely to see snow, perfect for skiing and other winter sports.
The plains of North India will experience a marginal rise in temperature on December 16, followed by a drop after three days as the cold air from the hills descends.
