Jammu and Kashmir Prepares for Widespread Rain and Snow, Anticipating Significant Temperature Drop
Jammu and Kashmir is bracing for fresh spells of rain and snowfall starting November 10, with an intense Western Disturbance expected to bring widespread precipitation across the Union Territory on November 12 and 13. The Meteorological Centre Srinagar forecasts light to moderate rainfall in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches, accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds in isolated areas. Day temperatures are projected to fall by 6-8 degrees Celsius during this period. An initial Western Disturbance on November 10 may bring light snowfall to isolated mountainous areas, particularly in North and Central Kashmir. A more moderate Western Disturbance around November 12 is expected to cause widespread snowfall across the higher reaches of North, Central, and South Kashmir, as well as the Pir Panjal and Chenab Valley regions. Some higher-altitude areas could experience moderate snowfall.
