Jammu and Kashmir Meteorological Office Director Dr Mukhtar Ahmad said on Tuesday that a western disturbance approaching Jammu and Kashmir is expected to result in overcast conditions from late on Tuesday afternoon.
He said this weather disturbance is likely to bring rain in the plains and light snowfall over the hilly areas during the evening hours. The inclement weather, including rain and snowfall, is likely to continue until the afternoon of November 5.
The day and night temperatures are also expected to drop sharply during this period. However, the weather is expected to improve from November 6.
“In the Jammu region, light rainfall is possible, while Doda and other higher reaches may experience snowfall. Zojila is also likely to receive a light spell of snow,” Dr Mukhtar said.
The MeT official advised travellers and locals to plan their travel accordingly to avoid any inconvenience. He said light to moderate precipitation is expected at scattered places. After the brief spell, the outlook indicates mainly dry weather across Jammu and Kashmir, with cold mornings and cooler days prevailing once the activity simmers down.
The department has suggested standard precautions for hilly stretches, where slippery surfaces and brief traffic disruptions cannot be ruled out.
