The weather office has issued a warning against thunderstorms and lightning in isolated areas of Himachal Pradesh. Police in Lahaul and Spiti have advised commuters to avoid unnecessary travel and stay away from sensitive areas due to snowfall near the Atal Tunnel in Rohtang. While the weather has mostly remained dry since Sunday evening, some regions have experienced light snowfall. The weather in the hills can change quickly, so stay updated even during your journey. If heavy rain, lightning, or storms are predicted, it is better to delay your trip. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, avoid open areas, hilltops and ridges. Lightning usually strikes the highest point, so staying at lower elevations or inside a shelter is your safest bet. Metal conducts electricity, so avoid carrying big metal items like trekking poles or umbrellas. Maintain a safe distance from metal fences, electricity poles, or even a parked bike. Keep yourself dry because wet clothes increase the chances of electric shock in case of a lightning strike nearby.
