Weather update Mount Abu

Weather update Mount Abu.

The temperature throughout the day has been on the lower side, right now (8.00 pm) in my verandah (porch) it's 7oC, outside it's probably much lower. The night before last by 10.30 pm a thin layer of ice had had formed on the seat of our scooters parked in the compound. This morning around 8.45 am, I took a snap of Khemoo, our all-rounder with a disk of ice taken from the dog's container lying outside. The met report is that for the next few days, Abu will remain the coldest place in Rajasthan. Tourists heading this way are advised to bring their woollies. TO GLEAN MORE ON ABU click the link
