Till December 26, weather is expected to be generally dry, the MeT official said.
“Generally cloudy weather is expected with possibility of light snow over isolated higher reaches on December 27.

“Generally dry weather is expected from December 28-31,” he said, adding, “Overall there is no significant weather activity till December ending”.

He said from January 1-3, weather is expected to be generally cloudy with “light rain/snow at scattered places.”
