The ongoing dry spell is likely to come to an end, bringing relief and clarity for the public, as heavy to very heavy snowfall is expected in Jammu and Kashmir.
The seasonโs first major Western Disturbance (WD) is likely to impact the region between January 20 and January 25, leading to widespread snowfall across J&K.
Current forecasts indicate a 70 percent chance of moderate to heavy snowfall even in the plains of Kashmir during this period.
The higher reaches, including Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Doodhpathri, and Pahalgam, are likely to experience heavy to very heavy snowfall.
It is important to note that two to three Western Disturbances may affect the region between January 16 and January 25, with a moderate to strong WD expected to be most active from January 20 to 25.
