The Meteorological Centre Srinagar has forecasted an extended spell of intermittent rain and snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir from March 10 to 16.
As per the latest forecasts, J&K today is expected to witness intermittent light to moderate rain/snow at many places, with moderate snowfall over higher reaches of North Kashmir’s Bandipora, Kupwara, and Ganderbal districts.
On March 11, there is a possibility of light rain/snow at isolated to scattered places with the possibility of intermittent spells of light to moderate rain/snow at many places from March 12 to 14.
Between March 15-16, intermittent rain and snowfall is likely to occur at many places, while the weather is generally expected to remain dry from March 17-21.
Additionally, temperatures in the region have dropped several degrees due to the constant, cold, breezy conditions.
In the wake of ongoing deteriorating weather conditions, the authorities have issued advisories for travellers, tourists, transporters, and farmers.
Kashmir-bound travellers and tourists are advised to follow administrative and traffic advisories, as rain and snowfall trigger avalanches and also landslides at several places on the Jammu-Srinagar highway.
Additionally, farmers are advised to suspend farm operations from March 10 to 16, and people are also advised to avoid sloppy and avalanche-prone areas.
During the recent wet spell, at least three people lost their lives as a result of the adverse weather-related incidents in Jammu and Kashmir between March 1 and 3.
