Srinagar, Nov 18: The Jammu and Kashmir Meteorological Department on Wednesday said that the weather will remain dry across the Union Territory until the end of November, with both day and night temperatures expected to drop further in the coming days.
A MeT official said that the valley has experienced a long dry spell from mid-October till now, with only a brief spell of light rain due to a weak western disturbance earlier this month. “There is no chance of any major weather activity in the coming days. The weather is expected to remain dry till the end of November,” he said.
The official added that the continuing dry conditions will lead to colder days and nights. “There may be a drop in maximum and minimum temperatures. Overall, the weather will remain cold and dry,” he said.
