The month of March seems to be turning out to be full of weather activities for North India. And not just this, Skymet, the only private weather forecaster in India has predicted for more rain, snow and cold over the trio hilly states of the country. Yesterday, Gulmarg in Kashmir has recorded minimum temperature at -8.0°C. Many other locations fail to cross the 5-degree mark even for the maximums.
‘At least four Western Disturbances (WD) are expected to affect Western Himalayas in the coming one week, until March 13.’ says Mahesh Palawat, the Vice President of Meteorology and Climate Change at Skymet. Already one after the other WDs have given good rain and snow over the region until the first week of March.
At present, a feeble Western Disturbance is affecting Jammu and Kashmir. This will bring along light rain and snow over Jammu and Kashmir and some isolated rains over Himachal and Uttarakhand until next 24 hours.
After this passes away, a much stronger disturbance will start affecting the hilly states on March 11 and 12. Afterwards there will be a short gap of one day.
On March 14, a very feeble Western Disturbance will give light rain and snow over Jammu and Kashmir and isolated activities over Himachal Pradesh. Uttarakhand however, will remain dry. The residents of the hills are advised to stay cautious against the upcoming cold weather.
