The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a warning of rain and thundershowers in several parts of Jammu and Kashmir over the next few days.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather advisory indicating that rain and thundershowers are likely to affect scattered locations across Jammu and Kashmir. The alert covers both the Kashmir Valley and the Jammu region, with the possibility of intermittent showers over the next 48 hours.
Meteorologists attribute the unsettled weather to a low‑pressure system moving eastward from the western Himalayas. While the intensity of the showers is expected to vary, the department cautions residents to stay prepared for sudden downpours and brief lightning activity.
Authorities have advised commuters to exercise caution on mountain roads, where wet conditions can reduce visibility and increase the risk of landslides. Local administrations are monitoring the situation and stand ready to issue further advisories if the weather worsens.
The forecast does not indicate any severe flooding, but people are urged to keep emergency kits handy and follow updates from official channels.
Overall, the weather pattern is typical for the pre‑monsoon transition period, and the IMD will continue to provide updates as the system evolves.
