• The Kashmir Valley experienced a sudden weather shift after a day of sunshine, with clouds gathering towards evening.
• Gusty winds, light rain, and thundershowers swept across several areas, while higher altitudes in south Kashmir witnessed snowfall.

Impact & Risks

The snowfall and rain have brought colder conditions to the Kashmir Valley, affecting travel and daily activities, especially in higher altitudes. Slippery roads and reduced visibility may pose risks to travellers in areas like Peer Ki Gali and Zojila Pass. The drop in temperatures could impact agriculture and livestock, while residents in the region may face challenges due to the cold nights.
