Light Snowfall, Rain expected in Kashmir from tonight

Srinagar, Nov 29:  Kashmir is set to experience a touch of winter charm as a weak Western Disturbance will bring a spell of  light snowfall in higher reaches from tonight.
 This weather activity is expected to stay till tomorrow afternoon, with the possibility of brief rain spells in a few plains, particularly in parts of north Kashmir.
Another weak Western Disturbance is on cards for December 02 and 03, with a forecast  of similar conditions with snowfall in the mountains and scattered showers in lower elevations.

As these systems clear out, the region will witness predominantly dry weather from December 04 to December 07.

However, this calm spell will bring a sharp dip in night temperatures, ushering in colder mornings and frosty nights. Weather experts have advised residents to brace for chilly conditions in December.

Meanwhile As winter tightens its grip over Jammu Kashmir, sub-zero temperatures were recorded across the Kashmir region.

Shopian, which had recorded -5.5°C earlier, saw a slight improvement today at -3.4°C. Similarly, Pulwama recorded -3.1°C, Anantnag -3.8°C, Budgam -1.6°C, and Bandipora -1.5°C, while Baramulla reported a relatively mild 1.1°C, according to Kashmir Weather Forecast.Despite these slight improvements, the chill continues to grip the region.

The valley is expected to experience light snowfall in the higher reaches between tonight and tomorrow afternoon due to a weak Western Disturbance, while a brief rain spell in the plains, particularly in north Kashmir, cannot be ruled out.

Another weak Western Disturbance is predicted to bring light rain and snow on December 2 and 3. Dry weather is expected afterward until December 7, accompanied by a significant drop in night temperatures.

Higher altitudes such as Sadhna Top, Razdan Top, and Zojila Pass are likely to receive snowfall, while light snow showers may occur in tourist hotspots like Gulmarg and Sonamarg.

Residents have been advised to brace for fluctuating weather conditions and colder nights as the region transitions deeper into winter.
