Cold wave conditions eased in Shimla and other parts of Himachal Pradesh on Wednesday after brief showers had led to a decrease in temperatures on Tuesday. Shimla witnessed a bright sunny day with the minimum temperature at 5.6 Degree celsius, Met office sources said. Temperature at Sundarnagar, Buntar and Kalpa were recorded at 4.6, 2.4 and minus 2.8 degree celsius respectively, the sources added. Weather was clear in high altitude areas of Lahual and Spiti also. Temperature there ranged between minus 10 degree to minus 20 degree celsius. On the return of warm conditions despite a brief spell of rain on Tuesday, weather director Met office, Manmohan Singh said that rain followed by cold Tuesday was caused as the western disturbance had become active in Jammu and Kashmir and adjoining areas, which has since moved towards Himalayas. There was no possibility of rain or snow in the next 2-3 days, Singh said.
