On March 10, 2026, Srinagar and several parts of Jammu and Kashmir were lashed by overnight rains. The Meteorological Centre Srinagar has indicated that the region is likely to witness generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches at many places.
As the day progressed, the meteorological department predicted more precipitation over the next few days. Specifically, heavy rain is likely over the plains of Kupwara, Baramulla, and Bandipora districts, while moderate to heavy snowfall is expected in higher reaches, including the Sonamarg-Zojila axis, Sinthan top, Sadhna top, Razdan top, and Peer ki Gali.
From March 10 to 11, generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches are anticipated. The minimum temperature in Srinagar was recorded at 3.3 degrees Celsius, with day temperatures expected to fall by four to six degrees Celsius at many places after March 9.
Farmers have been advised to suspend farm operations between March 10 and 12 due to the adverse weather conditions. The department has also issued an advisory warning of temporary traffic disruption over higher reaches and important mountain passes due to snowfall.
Thunder and gusty winds with speeds of 30–40 kmph are possible at a few places between March 9 and 11, further complicating the weather situation. These conditions are significant for local farmers and commuters, as they may impact agricultural activities and travel plans.
Looking ahead, the weather conditions are expected to improve from March 12 to 15, with generally dry weather and occasional cloudiness predicted. This shift will be welcomed by residents and farmers alike, as it may allow for the resumption of normal activities.
Overall, the current weather situation in Srinagar underscores the region’s vulnerability to changing climatic conditions, which are often influenced by its geographical features. The advisories issued by the meteorological department reflect the need for caution among the local population during this period of inclement weather.
