A series of western disturbances is moving across the northern mountains this week.

Uttarakhand, facing a 77% snow deficit as of mid-January, may see some recovery with upcoming weather systems.

A new disturbance arriving on January 21 will bring heavy rain and snowfall, especially on January 22-23.

Kumaon hills, including Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, and Champawat, are at risk of intense weather with hailstorms.

Garhwal regions like Rudraprayag, Tehri, Uttarkashi, Kedarnath, and Chamoli will likely see heavy snow and hail.

Low and mid-altitude areas may experience severe disruptions, affecting travel and connectivity. Residents and travelers should stay cautious, as inclement weather could persist.

Prepare for roadblocks and other challenges during these days. Stay safe!
