Srinagar, Feb 09: Amid forecast for widespread light to moderate snowfall and rain during the next 24 hours, minimum temperature increased above normal in Jammu and Kashmir.

A meteorological department official here said that it has already started to rain and snow in North Kashmir including Kupwara and Gulmarg.

“Widespread light to moderate snowfall/rain is expected in Jammu and Kashmir with chances of heavy snowfall over higher reaches today,” he said, adding, “Cloudy weather with light rain/snow at scattered places of J&K was expected on Friday.” Thereafter, he said, mainly dry weather was expected for one week.

The weather department also urged people living in avalanche prone areas to “stay alert and away” from the vulnerable areas.

“People should travel after confirming the road status especially over higher  reaches and Srinagar-Jammu highway after confirming road status from concerned traffic police.”

Meanwhile, he said, Srinagar recorded an increase in temperature, recording a low of 0.4°C against minus 0.1°C on the previous night. Today’s minimum temperature, he said, was above normal by 1.2°C for the summer capital.
