Srinagar recorded its first snowfall of this season on Tuesday. Most of the areas in the Valley and in its plains received overnight snow. The city registered a minimum temperature of 3.1 degree Celsius on Monday, which was up by three degrees from normal.
The reason for this is an active Western Disturbance developing over north Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir.
In capital Kashmir, the rains brought the season’s first snow, something which the locals and traders cheered on as they gear up to welcome tourists from across the country in the coming days and weeks.
Kashmir’s Doda district and other places located along the Pir Panjal range were lashed by heavy snowfall as well.
“Sonamarg, Gulmarg, Pahalgam also received moderate snowfall,” the Met said. Plains in the Jammu region have been receiving rainfall since Monday morning.
“The present weather conditions are likely to continue during Wednesday and Thursday after which the western disturbance active over Jammu and Kashmir will start weakening,” an official of the Met Department said.
Snowfall in Gulmarg has brightened the prospects of winter sports at its ski resort, visited by thousands of tourists every year.
