BHADERWAH, JAN 18: The prolonged dry winter in Jammu and Kashmir is finally expected to break as a duo of powerful back-to-back Western Disturbances (WD) prepares to sweep across the region.
Meteorological indicators suggest a significant shift in atmospheric patterns between January 22 and 28, likely triggering the season’s first heavy spell of snowfall.
This upcoming weather system is anticipated to blanket the higher reaches and plains alike, marking a dramatic transition from the current freezing but dry conditions to a more traditional, snow-clad winter landscape.
As the first major system makes its impact on January 22, the region is braced for a sharp plunge in daytime temperatures and potential connectivity challenges.
Authorities have issued advisories for residents, particularly those residing in high-altitude zones, to stock up on essentials and prepare for possible disruptions in road and air traffic.
With the arrival of these twin weather systems, the parched agricultural lands and depleting water levels in the region expected to see much-needed relief, even as the administration gears up for snow clearance operations to maintain essential services during this week-long winter peak.
