The sudden change in weather brought a cool spell to the hill station, with visitors making the most of the showers while exploring the city.

Mandeep Singh, a tourist from Chandigarh, said the rainfall had made his visit to Shimla more enjoyable. He said he was happy to experience the pleasant weather and slight chill in the air.
For Sanjay Kanonia, a tourist from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, the changing weather made his first visit to Shimla even more memorable.
Speaking to ANI, Kanonia said he had experienced both sunny and rainy weather within a day of arriving in the hill station.
“Yesterday, when I arrived here, the weather was clear and sunny, and today all of a sudden it has become cloudy and rainy. So, during my first visit, we have enjoyed both kinds of weather,” he said.
Kanonia added that the rain had not affected his sightseeing plans. He said he had purchased an umbrella so that he could continue exploring the city despite the showers.
