Winter takes a detour: Shimla basks in sunshine as snowy December goes missing

Shimla, often dubbed the Queen of Hills, is known for its snow-covered landscapes during December. This year, however, winter seems to have taken a pause.

Instead of frost and snowfall, the hill town has been enjoying bright sunshine and unusually mild temperatures, catching both residents and visitors by surprise. Daytime conditions remain pleasant, with temperatures hovering well above the seasonal average.

The unusual weather has drawn mixed reactions from tourists. While many are relishing the clear skies, crisp air and low pollution levels, others are disappointed by the absence of snowfall they had hoped to witness.

Shimla has been enjoying exceptionally mild and sunny weather, with temperatures well above average for this time of year, while the northern plains struggle with cold and thick fog.
