Severe cold from Gangotri to Gaumukh, rivers and streams turned into ice, know the weather condition in Uttarakhand.

Uttarakhand Weather Update Today: The weather patterns in Uttarakhand are different in different areas. Where in the plain districts of the state the weather is dry and the temperature remains normal during the day. At the same time, a huge drop in temperature has been recorded in the higher Himalayan regions, due to which life is being affected. According to the information received, the temperature in Gangotri Dham is going below zero degree Celsius. Due to this sharp drop in temperature, the rivers, streams and waterfalls around the Dham have completely frozen. Along with Gangotri Dham, all the water sources in Nelang Valley and Gaumukh Track have also turned into ice.

A serious water problem has arisen in the high Himalayan regions. People are now collecting frost covered snow and melting it and using it for drinking and other uses. At the same time, severe cold continues to wreak havoc in the high Himalayan region of Pithoragarh district. The sacred water source of Adi Kailash has frozen in Jeolingkang, situated at an altitude of about 14,500 feet. Due to cold, the water of Parvati and Gaurikund has also turned into ice. It is estimated that about 80% of the water in the ponds and small water sources in these areas has frozen at night.

At present, the weather situation in Uttarakhand is completely opposite – while the plain areas are experiencing normal and dry weather, in the higher Himalayan areas (Gangotri, Nelang Valley, Gaumukh Track and Adi Kailash area) due to sub-zero temperatures, rivers, streams and lakes have frozen, making water supply in these areas a major challenge.
