Earlier, low-hanging clouds draped Srinagar on Thursday, bringing intermittent light rain in the city.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast cloudy skies with occasional showers in Srinagar until March 16.

Visuals from Srinagar showed thick clouds hovering over Dal Lake, with light drizzles causing ripples on the water’s surface.

The iconic old city markets remained bustling despite the damp weather as commuters navigated the rain-soaked streets under umbrellas.

The IMD has advised residents to expect more light rain over the next few days, urging travellers to stay updated on weather conditions. No significant disruption has been reported so far.

Earlier last week, the Kashmir valley experienced a drop in temperature after recent rainfall, contributing to the winter chill. The temperature recorded was five degrees Celsius.
