Snowfall is likely to occur in the plains of Kashmir between January 18 and January 21, according to prevailing weather indications, raising the possibility of a fresh winter spell across the Valley.
Officials said the anticipated snowfall period may bring a change in weather conditions, with temperatures expected to drop further during and after the precipitation. While higher reaches routinely receive snow during winter, snowfall in the plains could impact daily life, transport and power supply if the spell turns intense.
The possible snowfall is being closely watched by authorities, particularly in view of its potential impact on road connectivity, including national highways and internal routes. Winter preparedness measures, officials said, remain in place to respond to any weather related disruptions.
Locals and travellers have been advised to stay alert to official weather advisories and plan their movements accordingly during the expected period. [KNT]
