Minimum temperatures dropped marginally in mid- and higher-hills of Himachal Pradesh today, even as the region experienced a dry but windy day.
There was no significant change in maximum temperatures which stayed three to four degrees Celsius below normal.
Keylong and Kalpa in tribal Lahaul and Spiti and Kinnaur districts and key tourist destination of Manali recorded minimum temperatures at minus 0.6 degree, 1.0 degree and 4.0 degrees Celsius.
Shimla and Solan recorded a low of 8.4 degrees Celsius, followed by Sundernagar 9.7, Bhuntar 10.0, Dharamsala 11.8, Palampur and Una 12.5 and Nahan 16.5 degrees Celsius.
