Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 28: After incessant rains across the region, the weather is likely to improve in Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) director Sonum Lotus said the weather is generally cloudy at most places in Kashmir, with light rain in some parts of Jammu region. “The condition is likely to improve significantly in the next 24 hours.”
The IMD had predicted intermittent light to moderate rain spells on Friday in Jammu division, southeast Kashmir and Ladakh division, besides improvement in weather in other places. “Srinagar, Baramulla, Kupwara Bandipora, and Ganderbal will have significant improvement in the weather,” the officials said. Heavy rain which began in parts of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday brought down the temperatures.
This brought relief to farmers from the dry weather conditions prevailing for the past three months. In Kashmir, rains have caused the water level to rise in all the major rivers and streams.
The administration, however, has ruled out the possibility of floods at this stage, though flood control rooms have been activated in some parts of north Kashmir due to the surging water levels. |
