The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast for Sikkim, predicting light to moderate rainfall and snowfall, particularly in higher-altitude regions, over the coming days.
Weather Outlook for Higher Altitudes
Higher-altitude areas such as Gangtok, Gyalshing, Mangan, and Namchi are expected to experience light to moderate rainfall and snowfall. Soreng and Pakyong may see isolated light rain.
Dry Conditions in Lower Altitudes
While higher-altitude regions will experience precipitation, the rest of the state will remain predominantly dry, with a reduction in rainfall activity over time.
Continued Rain and Snow in Higher Altitudes
Light to moderate rainfall and snowfall may persist in the higher-altitude regions of Gangtok, Mangan, and Gyalshing, with Namchi and Soreng seeing light rain in scattered areas.
Drier Weather Expected Soon
As the weather becomes drier in the coming days, precipitation will decrease, though some higher-altitude areas may still experience light rain or snow.
Safety Precautions for Travelers
Residents and travelers in higher-altitude regions are advised to remain cautious due to the potential for slippery roads and reduced visibility. Those planning outdoor activities or treks should stay updated on weather conditions and adjust their plans accordingly.
