Pertinently heavy rains lashed most parts of Jammu and Kashmir since Friday evening. The sudden change in weather, driven by an active Western Disturbance, is expected to intensify over the next 48 hours, bringing along significant rain, snowfall, and thunderstorms.
The active Western Disturbance is likely to impact large parts of J&K and adjoining regions, triggering widespread light to moderate rainfall across the plains and snowfall in higher altitudes.
