Rain and Snow Forecasted for Jammu and Kashmir from February 25-28

February 25, 2025 by NOK Desk

The Met Centre Srinagar has issued a weather forecast predicting a fresh spell of rain and snow across Jammu and Kashmir from Tuesday, February 25, to Friday, February 28, 2025. This weather event, driven by a western disturbance, is expected to bring light to moderate precipitation to most areas of the Kashmir and Jammu divisions, with isolated pockets likely to experience heavy rain and snowfall. Residents, travelers, and farmers are bracing for the impact as the region prepares for a significant shift in weather patterns.

According to the forecast, the precipitation will begin on the evening of February 25 and persist through February 28, with snowfall potentially extending into March 1-2. During this period, skies will remain generally cloudy, accompanied by light rain or snow at scattered locations. The Met Centre has warned of possible temporary disruptions to surface transportation, particularly over high-altitude passes such as Sadhna Pass, Razdhan Pass, and the Sonamarg-Zojila-Gumri axis. Tourists and travelers have been urged to plan their journeys accordingly and adhere to administrative and traffic advisories to ensure safety.

Farmers, too, are advised to take precautions. The Met Centre recommends suspending irrigation and other agricultural operations during this period to protect crops from potential damage due to the wet and cold conditions. The expected rainfall and snow could replenish water sources but may also pose risks to crops if not managed carefully. Day temperatures are forecasted to drop significantly, adding to the challenges faced by the agricultural community.

This weather event follows a period of fluctuating conditions in the region, with the recent rainfall in Udhampur providing relief to strawberry farmers after a prolonged dry spell. Now, as Jammu and Kashmir gears up for this fresh spell, the focus shifts to managing its broader impacts on daily life, travel, and farming. With the possibility of heavy snowfall in isolated areas, the coming days will test the resilience of the region’s infrastructure and its people, while offering a stark reminder of nature’s dual role as both a nurturer and a disruptor.

kashmir welcomes first snowfall — Kashmir experienced its season’s first snowfall

Upper reaches of Bhalessa in Doda district of the Union Territory received fresh snowfall, while the plains experienced rainfall, leading to a significant dip in temperatures. For farmers and orchard owners, this comes as a relief after a prolonged dry spell in the region.

Meanwhile, in a move to ensure safe passage amidst the snowfall and inclement weather conditions in Sonamarg in Kashmir, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has initiated snow clearance operations to enhance traffic flow in the area.

The Kashmir valley has been covered under a blanket of snow for the past few days. Although snowfall and these layers of snow may look breathtaking and mesmerising, it also hampers the daily activities of the people residing there.

Further down, the weather department has forecast dense fog in isolated places over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Dense fog covered the national capital on Sunday morning affecting visibility.

The fog was accompanied by cold winds. According to IMD, the lowest temperature in Delhi on Sunday is 10 degrees Celsius. It has predicted rain for Delhi on February 3.

Meanwhile, Dehi’s air quality was recorded in the “very poor” category. According the Central Pollution Control Board, Air Quality Index was logged at 340 at 8 am this morning.

An AQI rating is categorised as follows: 0-50 (good), 51-100 (satisfactory), 101-200 (moderate), 201-300 (poor), 301-400 (very poor), and 401-500 (severe).

Cold weather conditions continue to grip the national capital, with residents seeking refuge in night shelters to escape the biting cold.

On Saturday night, many were seen huddled in shelters across areas like Nizamuddin and Lodhi Road, looking for warmth amid the harsh conditions.

The shelters are usually simple structures–either, community centres, or tents — with basic amenities like heaters to provide warmth.

In coordination with various NGOs, the Delhi government has made efforts to provide warm clothing, blankets, and heated spaces to accommodate the growing number of people turning to these facilities.

Tinku Kumar, a caretaker of one of the night shelters said, “We have 20 beds for the people. All of the people have been provided with food and blankets including medicines.”

The dip in morning and night temperatures is attributed to northwesterly winds coming from the Himalayas. (ANI)
