Heavy rain, thunderstorms lash parts of J&K; Ramban admin issues safety alert
Ramban , August 23 : Heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning lashed several parts of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, prompting district administrations to issue safety advisories. In Ramban district, intense downpours and lightning were reported in different parts of the district. Taking precautionary measures, the Ramban district administration issued an alert, advising residents--especially those living in upper reaches and in close proximity to rivers, streams, and other water bodies--to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during the inclement weather. Simultaneously, rain lashed several parts of the neighbouring Udhampur district, bringing down temperatures and causing wet conditions across the region. According to meteorological data, widespread precipitation and overcast conditions have led to a noticeable dip in temperatures across both Jammu and Kashmir divisions, accompanied by extremely high humidity levels. Srinagar City recorded a temperature of 16.2 degrees Celsius with 100 per cent rainfall, while Jammu City registered 22.4 degrees Celsius with 98 per cent rainfall. Among other major stations, the tourist resort of Gulmarg recorded the lowest temperature in the region at 10.6 degrees Celsius, while Pahalgam recorded 14.2 degrees Celsius alongside 96 per cent rainfall. In the Jammu division, Katra recorded 20.8 degrees Celsius with 95 percent rains, Banihal witnessed 17.4 degrees Celsius with 93 per cent showers, and Kupwara recorded 17 degrees Celsius under cloudy skies. According to the five-day forecast issued by the IMD, rainfall activity is expected to gradually taper off over the coming days, transitioning to scattered light showers across parts of southern and eastern districts including Ramban, Udhampur, Doda, Kishtwar, and Anantnag. However, the weather department has cautioned about the possibility of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching up to 60 km/h at isolated places, alongside the persistent risk of localised flash floods, landslides, and mudslides in vulnerable hilly terrains over the next five days. According to IMD data, across the country, very heavy rainfall was recorded over Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, East Uttar Pradesh, West Uttar Pradesh, and East Madhya Pradesh yesterday. Additionally, heavy rainfall was also reported over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Assam and Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, West Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. Additionally, the weather agency predicted isolated heavy rainfall for Uttarakhand from August 22 to 28. Additionally, fairly widespread rainfall is expected in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim between August 22-28, over Jharkhand from August 23-28, and over Bihar between August 24-26.
