Himachal Pradesh experiences diverse climate patterns varying with altitude. Lower regions (500-2,000m) enjoy moderate conditions with warm summers (20-35°C) and mild winters (3-20°C). Mid-altitudes (2,000-3,000m) experience pleasant summers (15-25°C) and cold winters with occasional snowfall (-2 to 15°C). Higher regions (above 3,000m) have short mild summers (10-20°C) and severe winters (-10 to 5°C) with heavy snowfall. Monsoon affects most areas between July-September, while the trans-Himalayan regions remain relatively dry year-round due to rain shadow effect.
