Kashmir braces for widespread rainfall strating today

July 14, 2025 by News Desk

After several days of dry and stable weather, Jammu Kashmir is set to experience a fresh spell of rainfall and thunderstorms beginning the evening of July 14 and continuing until July 17.

Kashmir Weather has warned of the possibility of heavy rainfall during this period, which could affect both travel and daily life in several areas.

According to the forecast, most parts of the region, including both Jammu Kashmir divisions, are likely to be impacted.

Localized thunderstorms and short, intense spells of rain may occur, particularly during the night and early morning hours.

The rain is expected to bring relief from the prevailing heat, with daytime temperatures likely to remain in a comfortable range throughout the period.

Though the upcoming spell may not bring widespread flooding, areas prone to waterlogging, landslides, or flash floods, especially in south Kashmir, parts of Chenab Valley, and hilly terrain in Jammu, should remain cautious.

Commuters are advised to check weather updates before traveling, and people living near streams or unstable slopes should stay alert.

This shift in weather is attributed to a fresh western disturbance expected to impact the Western Himalayas starting Sunday evening.

Such disturbances are common in the region during summer months and can bring sudden changes in weather conditions.

Authorities have not yet issued any official advisories but are closely monitoring the system.

Residents are advised to follow local weather bulletins and exercise caution, particularly during heavy showers or thunderstorms.
