This time in Himachal Pradesh, the monsoon which provides relief from the scorching heat will arrive a little late. However, pre-monsoon rains have started in most parts of the state, which has made the weather very pleasant. After a long wait of about two-three days in Shimla, the favorite capital of tourists and local people, the process of rain is continuing since around 10 am on Wednesday morning.

Due to the continuous rain of relief drops from the sky, a huge drop in the temperature of Shimla city has been recorded. Due to this cold wind, people have started feeling winter-like chill and cold even in the last week of June. According to the latest estimate of Meteorological Center (IMD) Shimla, there is no possibility of completely clear weather in Himachal Pradesh till June 30. During this period, intermittent rain activities will continue in different parts of the state.

Monsoon speed became very slow, it became difficult to reach Himachal on time

Generally, June 25 is considered to be the normal and fixed date of arrival of South-West Monsoon in Himachal Pradesh, but this time the chances of it arriving on its scheduled schedule appear to be very weak. According to meteorologists, the Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) has currently stopped around Dahanu, Wardha, Raipur, Daltonganj, Motihari and 28.3 degrees North/83 degrees East.

The department says that within the next 2 to 3 days, the monsoon may gradually advance and cover some more new parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, while its entry in the remaining areas of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand will happen gradually in the subsequent days.

Due to such slow pace, it may take a few more days for the real monsoon clouds to reach Himachal Pradesh. It is worth noting that last year (in 2025), the monsoon had made its strong arrival in the entire state before time i.e. on June 20, whereas this time its movement has remained comparatively very slow. However, it is a matter of relief that at present Western Disturbance and local weather systems are fully active in the hilly state, due to which intermittent pre-monsoon rainfall activities are expected to continue in the state for the next one week.
