The weather conditions, in view of the system, behaved in a normal way. To be precise, temperatures plunged to settle around 10-12°C at some places. As the system is now clearing away, temperatures will now rise back to normal.
Temperatures in Jammu and Kashmir
Here’s a look at the maximum temperatures, which settled way below normal on Thursday.
The remnants of the system will bring only minimal rain in isolated places now. The northern hills will witness good weather conditions with bright sunshine for next 3 days. Climatologically, the Western Disturbances are supposed to shift northwards now, as we have entered the thick of summers. Unlike the present situation, these systems are not likely to bring rain over the foothills and plains of North India.
