The Meteorological Department has issued a forecast predicting a wet spell in Jammu and Kashmir starting from March 27 and 28. According to the statement released by the department, there is an expectation of widespread light to moderate rain, snow, and thunderstorms across the region during this period. Residents are advised to prepare for potential weather disruptions as a result of these conditions.
In the immediate forecast, the Meteorological Department anticipates mainly dry weather for the next 24 hours, with the possibility of very light rain and thunderstorms occurring in isolated areas. However, the weather is expected to shift towards partly cloudy conditions with light rain or snow at isolated places on March 29. From March 30-31, partly to generally cloudy weather is expected, accompanied by intermittent light rain or snow in a few areas.
While the region braces for the anticipated precipitation, there has been a notable increase in night temperatures across most places in Jammu and Kashmir. However, Srinagar and Kupwara have not experienced this rise in temperature, according to a Meteorological Department official speaking to Wattan Daily. This temperature trend indicates potential fluctuations in weather conditions that residents should be mindful of in the coming days.
As the wet spell approaches, residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to mitigate any potential risks associated with the predicted rain, snow, and thunderstorms. It is crucial to remain vigilant and prepared for possible disruptions to daily activities and travel plans due to the changing weather conditions expected across the region.
The Meteorological Department’s announcement serves as a reminder for individuals and authorities to make necessary preparations and arrangements to ensure the safety and well-being of residents during inclement weather. Monitoring local advisories and heeding weather warnings can help minimize the impact of adverse weather events on communities in Jammu and Kashmir.
