Jammu and Kashmir Weather Alert: Heavy Rain and Snow Forecasted Through April 19

SRINAGAR, April 17, 2026A strong new Western Disturbance is set to influence the weather across Jammu and Kashmir starting tomorrow night, bringing widespread heavy rainfall to the valley through April 19.

Regional forecasts indicate that while most areas will see significant precipitation, certain locations are at risk for isolated very heavy rain, which greatly increases the likelihood of landslides and waterlogging in vulnerable zones.

In the higher reaches of the valley, this system is expected to manifest as moderate snowfall, while the Jammu region will likely experience light to moderate rain paired with intense thunderstorms.

Residents and farmers are specifically advised to suspend all chemical spraying activities from tomorrow evening until April 20, and the public is urged to take all necessary safety precautions during this period of turbulent weather.
