J&K braces for another wet spell from tomorrow

SRINAGAR: Partly cloudy weather is expected today and light to moderate rain/snowfall (over higher reaches) is expected at many places from November 9 evening to 11th forenoon, said a meteorological department official here.

However, he said, there is no forecast of any major rain/snowfall during the spell. From November 12-16, he said, the weather is expected to be “fair to partly cloudy”.

Regarding probable impacts, he said, snowfall and low temperature may lead to temporary disruption of surface transportation, mainly over Zojila, Jammu-Srinagar Highway, Leh-Manali road on November 10 and 11.

“Prior to embarking on a journey, people are advised to know the status of the road from traffic police to avoid inconveniences,” he said, adding, “Travellers on major passes are advised to carry sufficient food items, warm shoes, clothes etc with them as road conditions remain uncertain during inclement weather.”
