The weather turned pleasant in Rajasthan’s Mount Abu after surprise rain graced the hill station on Sunday night. Cloudy skies were seen in Mount Abu, and the hill station was hazy with mist by Monday morning. Tourists enjoyed the unexpected weather, but the foggy roads also caused traffic inconvenience as people turned vehicle headlights on even during the day.
Mount Abu, renowned as the ‘honeymooners’ paradise’, sits around the Nakki Lake. Seeking a getaway from the heat of April, many tourists visit Mount Abu, where the temperature usually falls between 16 degrees to 27 degrees Celsius. In May, it usually soars to 23-37 degrees Celsius, however, it seems that the hill station will be pleasant even in May this year due to the surprise drizzle.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), generally cloudy skies and “with possibility of rainfall and thunderstorm” are predicted for Mount Abu until May 10.
