| Cold Wave Grips J&K, Snowfall Hits Kupwara | | | | Srinagar 05:-
In Jammu & Kashmir, the weather conditions continue to remain intensely cold and cloudy. Srinagar experienced a chilly night with temperatures plummeting to minus 1.6 degrees Celsius, adding to the ongoing cold wave in the region.
The MeT has predicted an active Western Disturbance to affect the Union Territory till Monday morning. Till now, there has been no report of rain or snowfall from Srinagar. However, the snowfall has started in the frontier Kupwara district in North Kashmir.
Under the influence of the Western Disturbance, moderate to heavy snowfall is expected until Monday morning across most parts of Jammu and Kashmir, with moderate rainfall predicted over the plains of Jammu during the same period.
The sharp drop in temperatures across Kashmir has caused water bodies to freeze in several areas, with frost-covered roads and fields becoming a common sight. Flight operations at the Srinagar International Airport were affected due to poor visibility caused by fog in the morning hours.
The vehicular traffic is through from both sides on the Srinagar Jammu National Highway. Mughal Road is closed for the 8th consecutive day. Authorities have urged residents and tourists to take precautions to ensure safety during travel. They have been asked to avoid unnecessary movement in vulnerable areas. | | | | |
