Fresh Snowfall, Rain Bring Temperature Drop Across Kashmir

Fresh snowfall in the higher reaches of Kashmir and rainfall across the plains have caused a noticeable drop in temperatures today.

According to the Meteorological Department, snowfall was reported in the Tulail area of Gurez Valley, on both sides of Zojila Pass near the Sonamarg area of Ganderbal district, and along the Mughal Road.

The plains of the valley received light to moderate rainfall during the early hours, while weather conditions are expected to improve later in the day.

Authorities have closed several key routes, including the Srinagar-Kargil road and the Bandipora-Gurez road, due to snowfall and slippery conditions.
