Shimla is getting ready for a cold day today! The weather might bring rain or snow, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The temperature will reach a maximum of 13.0°C and drop to about 4.0°C at night. Everyone is advised to wear warm clothes and keep an umbrella handy.
Today’s Highlights:
– Sunrise: 07:16 AM
– Sunset: 05:24 PM
– Moonrise: 12:13 AM
– Moonset: 12:26 PM
It’s also important to note that the air quality in Shimla is worrying today, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 122. This level is considered “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups,” which means kids, elderly people, and those with breathing or heart problems should be careful. The main problem in the air is PM2.5, tiny particles that can cause health problems.
Air Quality Advice:
Experts suggest the following:
– Stay indoors as much as you can.
– Use air purifiers at home.
– If you have to go outside, wear N95 masks.
PM2.5 can get deep into the lungs and even into the blood, causing serious health issues like asthma and heart problems. For healthy individuals, short outdoor activities are okay, but be careful—the air pollution can still affect you.

Shimla is expected to stay chilly with some rain or snow coming later this week. Temperatures will range from 14.0°C to 3.0°C, and the air quality will stay in the “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” range. Here’s the forecast for the coming days:
