A western disturbance moved across northern India, delivering fresh rain and snowfall to parts of Jammu and Kashmir and pushing temperatures lower.
The Indian Meteorological Department reported that a western disturbance entered the northern region on Monday, bringing widespread precipitation to Jammu and Kashmir. Rainfall was recorded in the lower valleys while higher elevations experienced fresh snowfall, marking the first significant snow in several districts this winter.
Temperatures across the union territory fell sharply, with many hill stations reporting lows near freezing. Srinagar saw daytime highs dip to around 5°C (41°F), while places such as Gulmarg and Pahalgam recorded sub-zero night temperatures.
Authorities have issued advisories urging residents to exercise caution on slippery roads and to avoid non-essential travel in affected areas. The weather system is expected to linger for the next 24‑48 hours before moving eastward, potentially bringing similar conditions to neighboring Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
