Kashmir's Higher Regions See First Snowfall; Plains Experience Rain and Hail
Kashmir's higher elevations, including Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Gumri, and Zojila, received the season's first snowfall on Saturday, marking an early sign of colder weather. Meanwhile, plains such as Srinagar experienced brief rains and hailstorms, lowering daytime temperatures. The Meteorological Department forecasts possible brief showers on Sunday but expects generally dry conditions in the coming days. The snowfall highlights the region's transition toward winter and its impact on tourism and road conditions, especially near the Zojila pass connecting Kashmir and Ladakh.
