Weather Today (06 March 2026): Weather conditions across India are rising rapidly as early summer has already begun to take hold. According to the India Meteorological Department, regions such as northwest India are currently reporting a rise of 4 to 6 degrees Celsius above normal, while regions such as central zones are reporting a rise of 3 to 5 degrees Celsius above normal.
As far as weather conditions are concerned, there is a possibility that the Himalayan regions may experience a change because a weak western disturbance is predicted, which could result in light rain and even some snowfall.
Will it Rain or Snow in the Hills?
According to the weather forecast, some parts of the Western Himalayas can expect some rain and snow from March 7 to 11. Some areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand may see light showers as a weak western disturbance crosses the Himalayas. However, the system is not strong enough to bring a drop in temperatures in the plains.
