The India Meteorological Department has issued a forecast indicating dry conditions across Jammu and Kashmir up to October 24.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather outlook on Tuesday predicting a dry spell across the entire Jammu and Kashmir region until October 24. The forecast, based on satellite observations and ground data, shows negligible rainfall and low humidity levels for the coming ten days.
Officials said the dry conditions are expected to persist in both the valley and hill zones, affecting agricultural activities that rely on timely monsoon showers. Farmers have been advised to monitor soil moisture and consider supplemental irrigation where possible.
The IMD cautioned that while the current outlook is dry, weather patterns can shift rapidly in the Himalayas. Residents are urged to stay updated through official bulletins, especially in areas prone to sudden cloudbursts later in the month.
