Srinagar: Light rain showers are expected to grace several parts of Jammu and Kashmir today, bringing much-needed respite from the prevailing summer heat. According to the latest bulletin issued by Kashmir Weather, overcast skies and a drop in temperatures are on the cards, though no significant rainfall event has been forecast.
The cloudy conditions are likely to bring down the day temperatures by 3 to 6°C, offering a pleasant spell for residents of the valley. Weather experts have ruled out any heatwave conditions for this week, projecting relatively mild and comfortable weather across the region.
Commuters in Srinagar were already seen walking through sporadic drizzles this morning, as thin layers of clouds enveloped the city’s skyline.
“The system over northern India remains weak but is enough to trigger light showers in isolated areas. We do not expect widespread or heavy rain at this time,” a meteorologist at Kashmir Weather said.
