Weather Conditions in Srinagar
On March 10, 2026, overnight rains lashed Srinagar and several other parts of Jammu and Kashmir, marking the beginning of a significant weather event in the region. The Meteorological Centre Srinagar has indicated that the region is likely to witness generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches at many places.
As the day progressed, the meteorological department predicted more precipitation over the next few days. Heavy rain is likely over the plains of Kupwara, Baramulla, and Bandipora districts, while moderate to heavy snowfall is anticipated over higher reaches, including the Sonamarg-Zojila axis, Sinthan top, Sadhna top, Razdan top, and Peer ki Gali.
From March 10 to 11, generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches are expected. The minimum temperature in Srinagar was recorded at 3.3 degrees Celsius, and day temperatures are expected to fall by four to six degrees Celsius at many places after March 9.
Farmers have been advised to suspend farm operations between March 10 and 12 due to the adverse weather conditions. This advisory comes as the region prepares for a potential disruption in agricultural activities, which could impact local food supply and economy.
Additionally, the department has issued an advisory warning of temporary traffic disruption over higher reaches and important mountain passes due to snowfall. Thunder and gusty winds with speeds of 30–40 kmph are possible at a few places between March 9 and 11, further complicating travel and outdoor activities.
Looking ahead, the weather conditions are expected to improve from March 12 to 15, with generally dry weather and occasional cloudiness forecasted. This shift may provide some relief to residents and farmers alike, allowing for a return to normal activities.
The current sequence of weather events is significant for those involved, particularly farmers who rely on stable conditions for their crops. The advisories and forecasts issued by the Meteorological Centre Srinagar are crucial for planning and safety in the region.
As the situation develops, residents are urged to stay informed about the latest weather updates and advisories to navigate the challenges posed by the changing weather patterns.
