Snowfall and Rain

The Kashmir Valley: A Winter Wonderland (with a Twist)

The Kashmir Valley experienced some unexpected snow-related chaos, with a light dusting in lower regions including Srinagar. Higher up in the mountains, however, the snow was far more abundant. This lead to the closing of vital roads, including the Kupwara-Keran and Bandipora-Gurez roads, while those in the lower areas didn't see as much accumulation as rain prevented snow buildup.

Dramatic changes and some bad weather news!

Gulmarg recorded some of the coldest temperatures at a shocking -3.2 degrees Celsius, while the unexpected weather caused problems for the region.

Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and the Western Disturbance

Get ready Himachal Pradesh! The IMD predicts snowfall and rain for Shimla, Manali, and other areas, on January 22 and 23. The real kicker? A western disturbance will become active on Wednesday, making things even more interesting. This could mean more significant snowfall and potentially disruptive conditions. So get your plans in place and watch out for those weather warnings!

Disruptions across the region

Heavy snowfall could result in transport disruptions, so be mindful when traveling in these regions. The situation can change quickly!

Uttarakhand's hill districts will see similar conditions, with cloud cover, possible snowfall on higher peaks, and the potential for some thundershowers in certain areas. Stay weather aware folks, and you should be fine!

Rajasthan's Unexpected Warmth (for Now)

Rajasthan enjoyed a brief reprieve from the cold on Tuesday, with maximum temperatures topping 25 degrees Celsius in some areas! However, this welcome break might be short-lived. A mild western disturbance could bring light rain to the northeastern parts of the state starting Wednesday, resulting in a slight dip in temperatures. Hold onto your hats, Rajasthani friends!
