Snow blankets Razdan Pass, hailstorm hits Kashmir plains

Officials said reports of damage had been received from some affected villages and assessment teams would evaluate the losses. The weather activity also caused waterlogging in low-lying areas and affected traffic movement on several roads during heavy showers.

The Meteorological Department said weather conditions are likely to remain unstable over the next few days.

According to the forecast, generally dry weather is expected during the forenoon between May 23 and 25, with brief showers likely at scattered places towards late afternoon.

From May 26 to 28, weather is expected to remain mainly hot and dry across Jammu and Kashmir, while brief showers are likely at a few places between May 29 and 31.

The MeT department advised people, particularly those living in vulnerable and mountainous areas, to remain cautious during thunderstorms, gusty winds and hailstorm activity.
