Meteorological officials warn that high temperatures and humidity will remain prevalent across Jammu and Kashmir in the coming days.
The Jammu and Kashmir Meteorological Department has issued a bulletin indicating that the region will continue to experience hot and humid weather for the next several days, according to Kashmir Life. Temperatures are projected to hover between 30°C and 35°C in the plains of Jammu, while the Kashmir valley may see highs around 28°C to 32°C, accompanied by relative humidity levels above 70%.
Such conditions are expected to intensify the feeling of heat, especially during the afternoon, and may exacerbate discomfort for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and outdoor workers. The persistent moisture also raises the likelihood of fog formation in low‑lying areas during early mornings.
Authorities have advised residents to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and use cooling measures where possible. Schools and workplaces are urged to monitor indoor temperatures and provide adequate ventilation. The department will issue further updates if the weather pattern changes.
