The total snowfall during these three days is likely to range between 2 feet in the mountains, 6-12 inches in the Karewas and 4-8 inches in the plains.

Note: Ziraat Times issues weather forecasts/outlooks in the interest of farmers and the general public to address the need for specific and detailed geographical forecasts. ZT forecasts are based on the analysis of multiple weather data – including cloud movement models associated with the westerly jet and localized cloud formation, temperature and wind speed differential models within J&K and surrounding regions, past weather patterns and traditional knowledge. It may be noted that we do not rely on online weather portals for their predictions and, therefore, we avoid issuing long and medium term forecasts, which are mostly unreliable.
While maximum care is taken in generating this information, and most times our forecasts are accurate; at times, the forecast might not go as anticipated. We advise discretion in using this information.
