Kashmir Faces Rain, Snow Amidst Western Disturbances

Rains and snowfall have impacted Jammu and Kashmir, with higher elevations experiencing snow as successive western disturbances are forecast to continue until March 20. The region, which had unusually high day temperatures earlier, is now receiving moisture-laden winds. Farmers are urged to halt spraying operations and farm activities between March 15 and March 20 due to the likelihood of thunder, gusty winds, and intermittent rain or snow.

This current spell of precipitation is not expected to fully offset the significant winter deficit, which exceeded 50%. This deficit raises concerns about potential water shortages during the summer and autumn months and could affect paddy cultivation due to reduced water availability from rivers and streams. Hopes are now shifting to April for improved precipitation levels.
