For the final showdown of the five-game Test series, India will be up against England in Dharamsala for the series finale scheduled for the 7th of March next month. However, the weather at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium does not seem promising for a cricket game.

India sealed the extended Test series against England with an authoritative win at Ranchi last week. Having chased 191 runs, Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Gill held their nerves to close out the proceedings on Day 4. 

That being said, the series will enter its final round on the 7th of March when India and England are scheduled to clash at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. While the visitors have nothing to lose, Rohit Sharma and co. will aim to retain dominance over its English counterparts.

However, ahead of the series finale, the weather report of the northern city of Dharamsala seems concerning. The northern part of India is generally chilly at this time of the year. However, with spring kicking in, the cold wave is expected to subside.

Still, as per Accuweather, the maximum temperature is expected to remain below 23° from March 7 to 11, with the lowest temperature expected to fall below 7° on the initial two days. 

Not only that, but the conditions could worsen in the early hours of the day, with temperatures likely  to drop into the negative category, which could induce snowfall.

Dharamsala's landscape is the true epitome of nature's finesse. However, due to the high altitude, the city witnesses snowfall during winter. Thus, it's highly likely that the India vs. England final Test will be halted due to snowfall.

Additionally, the chances of precipitation on the initial two days of the Test are over 50%. Therefore, unforced breaks during the game are expected to play spoilsport, as per the current weather report.
