Theog is a ridge town about 30 km beyond Shimla on the highway to Narkanda and Kinnaur, at roughly Shimla’s height, so its weather follows Shimla’s closely. By India Meteorological Department averages for Shimla (1991–2020), January is about 9 °C by day and 2 °C at night, and July–August are the wettest months. Snow is likely from December to February, and heavy falls can briefly block the Shimla–Theog–Narkanda road; Narkanda and Hatu peak, higher up, get more.
