Weather Conditions in Srinagar
On March 10, 2026, overnight rains lashed Srinagar and several other parts of Jammu and Kashmir, marking the beginning of a significant weather pattern in the region. The Meteorological Centre Srinagar has indicated that the region is likely to witness generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches at many places.
The forecast suggests that precipitation will continue over the next few days, with moderate to heavy snowfall expected in higher reaches including the Sonamarg-Zojila axis, Sinthan top, Sadhna top, Razdan top, and Peer ki Gali. Heavy rain is also likely over the plains of Kupwara, Baramulla, and Bandipora districts.
From March 10 to 11, generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches are anticipated. The minimum temperature in Srinagar was recorded at 3.3 degrees Celsius, and day temperatures are expected to fall by four to six degrees Celsius at many places after March 9.
Farmers in the region have been advised to suspend farm operations between March 10 and 12 due to the adverse weather conditions. This advisory comes as the department has issued a warning of temporary traffic disruption over higher reaches and important mountain passes due to snowfall.
Thunder and gusty winds with speeds of 30–40 kmph are also possible at a few places between March 9 and 11, adding to the challenges faced by residents and travelers alike.
Looking ahead, the weather conditions are expected to improve from March 12 to 15, with generally dry weather and occasional cloudiness predicted. This shift will provide some relief after the recent spell of rain and snow.
The current weather situation is significant for those involved in agriculture and transportation, as the adverse conditions can impact both farming activities and travel safety in the region.
As the situation develops, residents are advised to stay updated with the latest forecasts and heed any advisories issued by the Meteorological Centre Srinagar.
