The India Meteorological Department released its weekly snowfall outlook for Jammu and Kashmir, warning tourists of possible rain and snow and urging them to stay updated.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued its weekly forecast for Jammu and Kashmir, indicating that snowfall is likely in several hill stations and higher altitude areas during the coming days. The bulletin highlights that rain showers may also accompany the snow in lower valleys, potentially affecting travel conditions.
Tourists planning to visit the region are advised to monitor the latest updates from IMD and local authorities, as weather patterns can shift rapidly in the mountains. Visitors should carry appropriate winter clothing, sturdy footwear, and be prepared for reduced visibility on roads.
Local police and disaster management teams have been put on alert to respond to any emergencies arising from slippery roads or sudden weather changes. They recommend avoiding non-essential travel to high‑altitude routes if snowfall intensifies, and to keep emergency supplies handy.
The forecast remains provisional and will be revised if conditions evolve. Travelers are encouraged to check official sources regularly before and during their trip to ensure safety.
