Kashmir Weather Update: Heavy Snowfall and Rain Predicted as Fresh Western Disturbances Approach

SRINAGAR 06 March 2026 :— Residents and tourists in the Kashmir Valley are advised to brace for a significant shift in weather as a series of Western Disturbances (WDs) are set to impact the region starting March 10, 2026.

According to the latest forecasts shared by local weather monitoring experts (Kashmir weather Forecast ) on X, current meteorological indicators suggest that these incoming weather systems will be of “good intensity,” bringing a much-anticipated return of wintry conditions.

This chain of disturbances is expected to trigger widespread heavy rain and snowfall across the territory, potentially disrupting normal life while delighting winter sports enthusiasts.

The upcoming spell is predicted to be particularly intense in the higher reaches, with popular tourist destinations such as Gulmarg, Sonamarg, and Doodhpathri expected to be blanketed in a fresh layer of snow.

While the plains may initially see heavy rainfall, the sharp drop in temperatures associated with these active WDs could lead to snow accumulations in lower elevations as well.

Travelers and commuters are urged to stay informed as more detailed updates are expected in the coming days, especially regarding road connectivity and safety along major highways.
