New Delhi, Yesterday's Western Disturbance over north Pakistan is now closer to Jammu & Kashmir and can arrive anytime during the next 24 hours. The other Western Disturbance lies over east Jammu and Kashmir and is expected to move out during the next 24 hours. These back to back weather systems would keep the temperatures stable during the next two days over Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

Under the aegis of these two weather systems, snowfall is expected to occur at a few places over Jammu & Kashmir. Leh, Srinagar, Pehalgam, and Gulmarg would receive light snowfall in a couple of days. Rain would also be witnessed in the plains at these areas. The sky will be cloudy to party cloudy in this period. In Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, rains could occur at one or two places in the hills, during the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, a significant fall of two to three degrees in minimum temperatures is likely over east India in east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa in the next 24 hours. The northwesterly cool and dry winds would reach these areas to drop the minimums. The temperatures were stable due to cloudiness under the effect of a weather system (the low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal) for the last few days.  The maximum temperature would also rise a bit as the sky will become clearer.

The low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal is now close to the coastal areas of south Andhra Pradesh and north Tamil Nadu. Many places over south coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, north Tamil Nadu will receive rain during the next 24 hours. Rain would decrease over these areas thereafter.

Rains would further make inroads into interiors reaching Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu, south interior Karnataka and Kerala. South Tamil Nadu and Kerala will receive rain at a few places during the next 24 hours. Rain would increase over these places after this period. Rain would also occur at one or two places over south interior Karnataka, north coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana during the next 24 hours.
