No Major Rain or Snowfall Forecast, Isolated Light Snow Possible in Higher Reaches

Srinagar, Feb 15: The Meteorological Centre Srinagar has forecast largely dry weather conditions across Jammu and Kashmir till February 24, with no major spell of rain or snowfall expected during this period.
According to the MeT office, weather is expected to remain generally dry on February 15 and 16 across most parts of the Union Territory. However, there is a possibility of light snowfall at isolated higher reaches during the night of February 16 and early morning of February 17.
From February 18 to 24, the weather is likely to stay predominantly dry, bringing relief from frequent winter disturbances that affected parts of the region earlier this season. Day temperatures are expected to show a gradual rise under prolonged sunshine, while nights may remain cold, particularly in higher altitude areas.
The MeT has further indicated that February 25 and 26 may witness generally cloudy skies, with chances of light rain or snowfall at isolated places. Thereafter, dry weather is likely to resume on February 27 and 28.
Authorities have not issued any major weather advisory as of now. However, travellers to higher reaches have been advised to stay updated with local forecasts, especially during the brief window of possible light snowfall.
