Srinagar, June 18 (NVI): Jammu and Kashmir is likely to witness intermittent thundershowers at scattered places over the next seven days, with most activity expected during afternoon and evening hours, according to a weather forecast issued on Thursday.
The forecast indicates the possibility of thundershowers in parts of the Union Territory from June 18 to June 22, while a few areas may also receive light showers during the early morning hours on June 21 and 22.
Weather conditions are expected to remain largely stable on June 23, although isolated places may witness brief thundershowers towards late afternoon or evening. Similar weather activity is again likely at scattered locations on June 24.
Forecasters said the showers are not expected to occur at every location each day, but isolated areas may experience gusty winds and hailstorms along with thunderstorms.
In view of the prevailing weather conditions, orchardists have been advised to undertake spraying operations during the early morning hours and in phases to minimise the risk of chemicals being washed away by rain.
The advisory comes as horticultural activities remain in full swing across Kashmir Valley. Officials have urged farmers and orchard owners to keep track of local weather updates and take necessary precautions during thunderstorm activity. (NVI)
