Snowfall and Rain Bring Relief to Kashmir Amid Heatwave Conditions In the early hours of Thursday, May 21, 2026, parts of the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir experienced fresh snowfall, while the plains were hit by heavy rain, leading to a drop in temperatures. Officials reported that the Gurez sector in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district, Zojilla Pass on the Srinagar-Leh National Highway, and areas like Sonamarg were blanketed in snow. Several other peaks in the valley also received snow, transforming them into white-covered landscapes. Meanwhile, the plains, including the summer capital of Srinagar, faced intermittent rainfall that disrupted daily activities. The weather conditions marked a shift from the prolonged heatwave that had gripped the region. Officials noted that the heavy rainfall, which began late on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, caused significant damage. A road in Bandipora district was severely affected, with water and mud seeping into nearby homes. The downpours also triggered waterlogging and mudflows, further complicating movement in the area.

Met department warns of heatwave in Karnataka, doctors advise hydration, sunscreen The Meteorological Department has issued a warning about an expected heatwave in Karnataka this summer, with officials highlighting the risks of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted an increased likelihood of heatwave conditions from March to May, noting that above-normal heatwave days are anticipated. This surge in temperatures could lead to skin-related issues, prompting health authorities to emphasize preventive measures. Authorities have been instructed to prepare for the heatwave by setting up cooling shelters, ensuring a steady supply of drinking water, and enhancing health surveillance systems. The IMD plans to release weekly and extended-range forecasts to aid local governments in implementing proactive strategies. Vulnerable groups, including the elderly, children, outdoor workers, and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, are at higher risk of heat-related illnesses. Dermatologists have warned that intense summer sunlight can severely impact skin health. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation may result in sunburn, skin irritation, tanning, rashes, and premature skin damage, particularly for those spending long hours outdoors. Dr. Kanchan Topgi, a dermatologist at Sakra World Hospital, explained that UVB radiation (280-315 nm) causes direct DNA damage, leading to sunburn, while UVA rays penetrate deeper, breaking down collagen and causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage. Over time, these effects can lead to hyperpigmentation and premature aging. Medical experts recommend several precautions to mitigate the risks.#karnataka #meteorological_department #indian_meteorological_department #dr_kanchan_topgi #dr_shantini_vijayasuriar
Rains and snowfall persist in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh for a second consecutive day Light rains continued to affect the plains of Kashmir, while snowfall was reported in parts of Ladakh on Wednesday. The meteorological department (MeT) has issued forecasts indicating that erratic weather conditions are expected to persist in the region until March 19.

While the exact duration of the weather anomalies remains uncertain, the department has emphasized the need for vigilance and preparedness among the public.#meteorological_department #jammu_and_kashmir #kashmir #ladakh
Heat Wave: March's Heatwave, Temperatures to Reach 39 Degrees Today and Tomorrow The Meteorological Department has issued a warning that temperatures in the region will rise to 39 degrees Celsius today and tomorrow, March 9th and 10th. This marks an early and intense arrival of the summer heat, with residents experiencing conditions typically associated with May. The department’s forecast indicates a significant increase in temperatures, prompting residents of Sambhajinagar to prepare for a period of extreme heat. The heatwave has arrived earlier than expected, with temperatures climbing steadily since the start of March. Daily averages have risen by one degree Celsius each day, and the city’s maximum temperature has stabilized around 38 degrees Celsius. The most intense heat occurs between 12 PM and 4 PM, leading to the formation of thick layers of dust on major roads. Additionally, the minimum temperature has also risen, with the mercury reaching 21.4 degrees Celsius, eliminating the usual nighttime coolness and creating a persistent sense of dry heat. Experts attribute the rapid temperature rise to the combined effects of the El Niño phenomenon and warm winds originating from the arid regions. These factors have contributed to the sudden and severe increase in temperatures. While there is a slight chance of partly cloudy skies on March 12th and 13th, which may cause a minor drop in temperatures, the overall trend of rising heat is expected to continue. Residents are advised to take precautions against heatstroke, including avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours, wearing protective clothing such as caps and scarves, and staying hydrated by drinking water, lemon juice, or buttermilk. If symptoms such as dizziness or nausea occur, immediate medical attention is recommended.#meteorological_department #sambhajinagar #el_nio #heatwave #march
