A fresh Western Disturbance is currently seen over North Afghanistan and adjoining parts of Pakistan. This system has also induced a cyclonic circulation that lies over central parts of Pakistan. These systems will start affecting parts of North India from May 10.
But light rain and thundershower was observed at isolated places in Jammu and Kashmir such as Srinagar and its nearby areas in the last 24 hours.
From May 10, the spread and intensity of the weather activity will increase and good rain along with thundershower will be observed in the hill states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Between May 11 and 16, successive Western Disturbances will keep affecting the Western Himalayas and widespread weather activities will occur over most parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and few parts of Uttarakhand. In fact, few intense showers may also occur over these areas.
These successive weather systems will be a rare scenario, as in the month of May such intense Western Disturbances are very rare. But this spell will be prolonged and widespread.
Isolated snowfall over the upper reaches cannot be ruled out. As whenever there is continuous rainfall, temperatures of the region drop and lead to snow in the higher latitudes.
All the main tourist destinations like Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Mussoorie, Haridwar, Nainital and Dehradun will observe rain and thundershower activities. Due to significant fall in day temperature, the weather over these places will become pleasant. Rain may also be observed in Vaishno Devi and Katra.
Due to continuous weather activities, after May 13, incidents of mudslides and landslides may take place, which may cause disruption to tourist and local people.
