On March 10, 2026, overnight rains lashed Srinagar and several other parts of Jammu and Kashmir, marking a significant weather event for the region. The Meteorological Centre Srinagar reported that the region is likely to witness generally cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain in the plains and snowfall over higher reaches at many places.

The minimum temperature in Srinagar was recorded at 3.3 degrees Celsius, with day temperatures expected to fall by four to six degrees Celsius at many places after March 9. This drop in temperature is significant for residents and farmers alike.
Farmers have been advised to suspend farm operations between March 10 and 12 due to the adverse weather conditions. The department has also issued an advisory warning of temporary traffic disruption over higher reaches and important mountain passes due to snowfall.
Thunder and gusty winds with speeds of 30–40 kmph are possible at a few places between March 9 and 11, further complicating the situation for those traveling or working outdoors.
