The India Meteorological Department has issued a warning that rain and snowfall are likely across Jammu and Kashmir beginning on October 6, according to Kashmir Life.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather advisory indicating that both rain and snow are expected to affect large parts of Jammu and Kashmir from October 6 onward. The forecast, reported by Kashmir Life, highlights a shift in the region’s typical autumn pattern as moisture-laden systems move in from the west.
According to the IMD, the precipitation could be widespread, covering the valleys as well as higher altitude areas. While rain is likely in lower-lying districts, snowfall is anticipated in the mountainous zones, potentially impacting travel and local activities.
Authorities have been advised to monitor the situation closely and to issue any necessary advisories for commuters and residents. The department also urged the public to stay updated through official channels as conditions evolve.
The forecast comes ahead of the peak tourist season in the Kashmir valley, prompting hotels and transport operators to prepare for possible disruptions. Residents in flood‑prone areas have been reminded to keep emergency kits ready.
Further updates will be provided by the IMD as more data becomes available, ensuring that communities can respond promptly to any weather‑related challenges.
