Srinagar, May 16: Temperatures across Jammu and Kashmir are expected to soar over the next three days, with weather authorities warning of potential heatwave conditions in several parts of the region.
According to the latest forecast, the heat is likely to intensify over the weekend, particularly in the plains of Jammu and parts of south Kashmir, where the mercury may breach normal seasonal levels. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, especially during peak afternoon hours.
Despite the looming heatwave, there is a slight chance of thundershowers in some areas by Sunday evening. A more widespread spell of thundershowers is anticipated on Monday, which may bring brief respite from the heat in various parts of the Union Territory.
Authorities are monitoring the evolving weather pattern closely. People are urged to stay hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and keep an eye on official advisories.
