Weather update for Mount Abu [ 02/12/2022 ]

 Cold Wave Grips the Hills: Mercury Dips to Zero.

The chill is back in Abu! Bonfires glow, tea stalls buzz, and the air smells of roasted peanuts. While the rest of Rajasthan shivers, our little hill station turns into a cosy corner of winter delight.

A green mantle adorns Mount Abu.

Mount Abu, Rajasthan’s lone hill station, is once again in the grip of a biting cold wave. The Meteorological Department has issued an alert for severe cold across the state, as icy winds sweeping down from Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh make their presence felt in the Aravalli ranges.

In the last two days of November, the temperature began its steady descent, and by the first day of December, Mount Abu recorded a chilling zero degrees Celsius. Last night, it hovered just above freezing, hinting that sub-zero temperatures are only days away.

Each winter brings a familiar flurry of reports and social media captions declaring, “Snowfall in Mount Abu!” or “Abu turns white this winter.” While these headlines make great tourism buzz, they’re far from the truth. It doesn’t snow in Mount Abu. What visitors see blanketing the fields in white is frost—frozen dew and moisture that accumulate overnight, transforming the landscape into a shimmering, snow-like spectacle by dawn.

This natural illusion, however, works wonders for tourism. The “frosty hills of Rajasthan” draw visitors in droves, eager to experience the chill and click photographs that could be mistaken for scenes from the Himalayas.

For travellers planning a winter getaway, warm clothing is a must. The mornings and evenings are cold, though the days remain pleasant. Whether you’re strolling around Nakki Lake, hiking to Guru Shikhar, or soaking in the forest silence trails, Mount Abu in December has its own serene magic.

As for the locals, they greet the season in their own timeless ways. Bonfires flicker in the lanes after dusk, children huddle around steaming cups of chai, and the smell of roasted peanuts drifts through the bazaar. Woollen caps, mufflers, and laughter are everywhere. In the crisp night air, Abu feels both ancient and alive — a place where winter doesn’t just visit, it settles in with quiet dignity.

Rajasthan’s desert chill finds its most enchanting form here — in this Abode of the Gods, where frost glitters like snow and warmth comes not just from fire, but from the spirit of the people.

Mount Abu echoes with the roar of the monsoons. [August 2022]

 The monsoon is active again in Mount Abu. There will be more showers to come.

The roar of the monsoons Mt Abu. 2022

It has been raining since 1 July 2022 on Mount Abu. It poured relentlessly with a vengeance on the hilltops, dales, gorges, and plains. There was a roaring river on Abu Road. It flowed from bank to bank, just below the bridge. The rainfall roared in Abu, bringing the hills and cataracts to life, spewing fiercely with fury, threatening ridges, bridges, roadways and pathways with intensity.

There is JOY and anxiety in the monsoon in Abu for the Aam Abuites. The showers exhilarated the jungle with their life-giving water. The reservoirs of Abu overflow to everybody’s delight. Rationing of the water supply will remain the same, “Every Second Day.” Tourists enjoy the falling rain like fish leaping out of the water. The gushing waters, waterfalls, and whirling mist are a welcome alleviation from the sweltering hot weather of the plains. 

The Abuites won't get a break from the rainy weather as the Met Department forecasts another round of rainfall next week. advise Mount Abu guests that while dancing and frolicking under waterfalls in a realistic area can be thrilling, they must avoid entering the rapids rushing downstream at all costs as it can be treacherous. Monsoons have already taken three lives this year with their rushing intensity. BE SAFE, TAKE CARE, AND DO NOT DO THE DARE.
