Back-to-Back Disturbances to Bring Rain and Snow to J&K
Get ready, folks, as March gears up to bid adieu with a flourish of weather dramas in Jammu and Kashmir. Brace yourselves for back-to-back Western Disturbances (WD), poised to usher in moderate to heavy rain and snow across the region from the 27th to the 31st of March.
In the upcoming days, the meteorological narrative revolves around not one, but two WDs, making their presence felt. These atmospheric players are anticipated to paint the skies with rain, thundershowers, gusty winds, hailstorms, and the scenic charm of snowfall, covering most parts of J&K in their theatrical display.
The first WD is set to make its entrance from the 27th of March, extending its sway until the night of the 28th. During this period, expect moderate to heavy rainfall, accompanied by brisk winds, to grace the plains of J&K.
Meanwhile, the picturesque higher reaches of Kashmir and UT Ladakh are poised to experience a generous dusting of moderate snowfall.
On the 29th of March, a temporary lull is forecasted, with mostly dry weather prevailing across the region.
However, as the late afternoon unfolds, a few spots might be treated to brief episodes of thundershowers, adding a touch of drama to the atmospheric spectacle.
As the curtains draw on March’s final act, the second WD takes center stage, heralding its arrival from the morning of the 29th or 30th until the evening of the 31st.
During this period, brace yourselves for another round of nature’s watery symphony, with plains likely to receive moderate to heavy rainfall, while the mountains prepare for a majestic mantle of snow. The peak intensity of this weather encore is anticipated on the 30th of March.
For those curious about snow depths, here’s the scoop for the period spanning the 27th to the 31st of March: Extreme higher reaches are expected to be blanketed under 2-4 feet of snow, while areas like Kulgam, Shopian, Anantnag, and others could witness 1-2 feet of snowfall.
Additionally, fresh snow measuring around 1 foot is anticipated in beloved destinations like Sonamarg and Gulmarg during this timeframe.
In summary, from the 27th to the 31st of March, expect the weather to exhibit its erratic charm across Jammu and Kashmir, with rain and snow taking center stage in this atmospheric performance.
