Una town in Himachal Pradesh hit 34.2°C on a November day, setting a new state record for the month.
The town of Una in Himachal Pradesh recorded a temperature of 34.2°C on a November day, marking the highest reading for the month in the state's history. The figure surpasses the previous November high, which typically hovers around the mid‑20s Celsius. Meteorologists from the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority confirmed the reading as an official record, attributing the spike to an unusually strong western disturbance combined with clear skies.
Such a temperature anomaly is rare for the Himalayan foothills, where November usually brings cool evenings and daytime warmth in the low 20s. The sudden heat has prompted local authorities to issue health advisories, urging residents to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure outdoors, especially the elderly and children.
The state’s weather department is monitoring the situation closely, warning that the heat could persist for several days if the prevailing atmospheric pattern remains unchanged. Farmers in the region have also been advised to protect vulnerable crops from heat stress, while power utilities are on alert for increased electricity demand due to cooling appliances.
