Strong Winds, Rain, and Hail Bring Heatwave Relief and Minor Damage in Jammu
On Thursday evening, Jammu and nearby districts experienced strong winds reaching up to 89 kmph, accompanied by rain and hail, which brought relief from a heatwave that saw temperatures as high as 46.1°C in Samba. The severe weather caused an electric transformer and several poles to fall onto a road in the Channi area, narrowly missing a two-wheeler carrying two people. Minor infrastructure damage, including fallen trees, was reported. The power supply had been switched off before the incident, preventing a major accident. The weather shift led to a notable temperature drop and improved conditions across the region.
