Dry Weather Expected for Next Two Weeks in Jammu and Kashmir: Meteorological Department

The Meteorological Department has issued a weather forecast predicting mainly dry conditions across Jammu and Kashmir for the upcoming two weeks.

On Monday, the Meteorological Department (MeT) announced that the region should brace itself for an extended dry spell, with dry weather conditions expected to persist over the next two weeks. While there may be a brief interruption in the form of scattered rain on September 5, with a 50 percent chance of rain in some areas towards the evening, the overall trend remains hot and dry from September 6 to September 10.

The MeT emphasized that there is no major rain or snowfall anticipated in the region during this period. This forecast offers a favorable climate for agricultural activities, prompting the Meteorological Department to issue an advisory to local farmers, encouraging them to seize this opportunity and proceed with the harvest of their crops.

The weather outlook for the second week indicates that the region may continue to experience mainly clear and dry conditions, with only isolated locations likely to witness brief spells of light rain. This information is crucial for farmers and residents of Jammu and Kashmir to plan their activities accordingly and make necessary preparations for the sustained dry weather conditions.
