Weather activity has intensified once again across the hilly regions of North India, with continuous western disturbances expected to bring rain and snowfall over the coming week. In the last days of March and early April, unusually heavy snowfall was recorded in higher altitude areas of Kashmir, including Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and the Pir Panjal range. This led to a drop in temperatures and temporary closure of several key routes. Similarly, late snowfall was observed around Keylong, Solang Valley, and the Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh, while fresh snowfall in Jammu & Kashmir’s Doda district brought a sudden change in weather conditions. According to the weather department, two major western disturbances will remain active during the first half of April—the first between April 3 and 5, and the second between April 7 and 9. Weather activity is expected to peak on April 3–4 and April 7–8. During this period, higher altitudes are likely to witness heavy snowfall, mid-hill regions may receive light to moderate snowfall, and lower areas could experience rain accompanied by thunderstorms. There is also a possibility of hailstorms in some places. Adverse weather conditions may disrupt road and air transport, especially in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, prompting authorities to advise caution for both locals and tourists. The impact of this weather pattern will also be felt in the plains, where temperatures are expected to drop, bringing relief from early April heat. Weather experts suggest that the influence of western disturbances may continue until mid-April, leading to ongoing spells of rain and snowfall in the mountainous regions.
