The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported a sharp decrease in temperatures across several northern states. This change is caused by a western disturbance, which has brought snowfall to the hilly areas of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir. It has also led to rainfall in Punjab and Rajasthan. The IMD has issued an orange alert, warning people about the severe weather and asking them to stay prepared.
Heavy Snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir have seen a major drop in temperature due to continuous rain and snowfall for two days. The heavy snow has forced the closure of important roads, including the Pawadha-Karnah and Bandipur-Gurej routes. These road closures have isolated some regions, making travel difficult. In Srinagar and nearby areas, rain has been falling since Tuesday, adding to the cold and affecting daily life.
Rainfall in Punjab Affects Daily Life
The changing weather has also affected Punjab, where light rain has continued for the last two days. Cities such as Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda, and Faridkot received rainfall on Wednesday. The IMD has predicted that this weather pattern will continue, with chances of a cold wave and more rain in the coming days. People in these areas may experience colder temperatures and wet conditions.
Snowfall and Rain in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh
A fresh western disturbance was observed in Uttarakhand on Wednesday. This has led to snowfall in the hilly districts and rain in the plains. The IMD has warned that more snow and rain are expected in the next 24 hours. Authorities have advised people to take precautions and stay updated on weather conditions.
Himachal Pradesh is also experiencing similar weather. The IMD has issued alerts for snowfall in districts like Chamba and Kullu. The cold and wet weather may cause disruptions in travel and daily activities.
Weather to Remain Cold and Wet
The IMD has stated that the current weather conditions will continue in the coming days. More snowfall and rainfall are expected, which may lead to road closures and travel disruptions. People in affected areas should stay informed and take necessary precautions to deal with the cold and wet weather.
This sudden change in weather is a reminder of how natural forces impact daily life. Authorities have urged people to be prepared for possible delays and difficulties caused by the ongoing rain and snowfall.
