During the same time frame, Jammu and Kashmir will continue with scattered light rain activity.
By September 3, the intensity of rains will decrease but till then the chances of landslides and flash floods are very protuberant. Hence, we advise people who are planning their weekends to head towards these famous North Indian hills to kindly skip their visits to avoid massive traffic and road obstructions caused by landslides and water logging.
