Thundershowers, Hailstorm Likely in Parts of Jammu Kashmir Today: MeT Parts of Jammu and Kashmir are expected to experience thundershowers accompanied by gusty winds and hailstorms during the late afternoon or evening on Saturday, according to the Meteorological Centre Srinagar. An official from the MeT department confirmed that brief spells of light rain or thundershowers may occur at isolated locations, primarily during the late afternoon or evening hours. The weather forecast indicates that the region will remain largely dry on April 12, with only isolated light rain spells. Clear skies are anticipated for April 13 and 14, while scattered rain and thundershowers could return on April 16 and 17, the official added. The MeT office has issued advisories to farmers, urging them to resume agricultural operations as maximum temperatures are projected to rise gradually over the next five days. This gradual warming is expected to create conditions that may influence the intensity and frequency of the weather events. Meanwhile, an independent weather forecaster, Faizan Arif, has warned orchard owners to avoid spraying activities on April 11 due to the anticipated weather activity, which could pose risks to crops and equipment. The meteorological predictions highlight the variability in weather patterns across the region, with the potential for sudden shifts from dry conditions to heavy rainfall. The timing of these events, particularly the late afternoon and evening hours, suggests that residents and agricultural stakeholders should prepare for possible disruptions. The gradual temperature increase is also a key factor, as it may contribute to the development of thunderstorms by enhancing atmospheric instability.#jammu_kashmir #meteorological_centre_srinagar #faizan_arif #me_t #agricultural_operations
