It has been suggested by meteorologists that Uttarakhand might witness warm weather conditions in plains areas while hill stations would be relatively pleasant as pre-monsoon activities slowly gain strength in northern India. It has been noted by meteorologists that high intensity sunlight, dry winds, and clear skies have been increasing temperatures in plains areas such as Dehradun, Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Haldwani, where the temperature becomes highly uncomfortable in afternoons. Simultaneously, it has been observed that Mussoorie and Nainital hill stations are experiencing cool weather conditions, cloudy skies, and pleasant winds which attract tourists seeking relief from extremely hot summer conditions in northern India. Further, it has been suggested by meteorologists that growing pre-monsoon activity might result in increased clouds and chances of rainfall in hilly areas. Such weather changes might offer temporary relief from heat conditions in some plains areas of Uttarakhand.
