Heavy Snow Likely In Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal And Uttarakhand Between January 12 And 14 Owing To Yet Another Western Disturbance

The Western Disturbance has been giving fairly widespread rain and snow in hills of North India for the past two to three days. Instances of road blockage and traffic jams were also reported due to accumulation of fresh snow in many parts of the hilly states. The situation, however, has started improving from the last 24 hours, as the weather system is now moving away eastwards. Despite this movement, there is a chance of scattered rain and snow in parts of Uttarakhand until today afternoon due to the remnants of the system. Thereafter, the weather might go dry, however, not for long, as the weather models are indicating the approach of another fresh Western Disturbance.

The system would mark its presence around January 11 and might start impacting the hilly region from either the night of January 11 itself or morning of January 12. The period between January 12 and 14 is likely to see intense weather activities in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. There are chances of moderate to heavy snowfall and intense rain in northern hills during this span, hence tourists are advised to take utmost precautions.
