A fresh spell of rain and thundershowers is expected to affect many parts of Jammu and Kashmir during the next several hours, with weather activity likely to intensify overnight and continue into tomorrow morning.
Weather experts said the changing conditions are being influenced by an active western disturbance currently affecting the region.
Gusty Winds and Lightning Activity Expected
Along with rainfall and thunderstorms, several areas may also witness gusty winds and lightning activity over the next 24 hours.
Officials warned that strong winds could temporarily affect visibility and create difficult conditions in some vulnerable areas.
Possibility of Hailstorms in Some Areas
The weather system may also bring hailstorm activity to isolated places across Jammu and Kashmir, especially during periods of intense thunderstorm development.

Cooler conditions are likely to continue until the weather system weakens.
Further Weather Updates Expected
