Residents and farmers have been urged to stay alert and take necessary precautions, especially between June 21 and 22.
According to the Met department, weather conditions from June 18 to 20 will remain generally dry across most parts of the region. However, brief spells of rain or thundershowers accompanied by gusty winds are possible at isolated locations.
From June 21 to 22, the Valley is expected to witness a shift, with generally cloudy skies and intermittent rain or thundershowers likely at several places. Moderate to heavy rainfall is also predicted in parts of the Jammu division during this period, which may result in intense showers.

Farmers have been advised to continue and complete all major farm operations by June 20. The advisory warns of potential disruptions during the latter part of the week due to rain and the possibility of flash floods, landslides, mudslides, and shooting stones, particularly in hilly terrain.
"Moderate to heavy rainfall expected in parts of Jammu division on June 21 and 22 may trigger flash floods and landslides. People in vulnerable areas should remain cautious," the Met office said in a statement.
