With the weak western disturbance touching Jammu and Kashmir, day temperatures have dipped and the sun heat has been replaced by cloud cover.

As already predicted by the MeT department, rains are predicted from Tuesday up to April 14. With the cloudy conditions, Kashmir valley looks like a perfect picnic spot for the travelers who are coming in large numbers during the current spring season.

If showers would be witnessed in different places of Kashmir valley it would be very soothing for the tourists who have come to Kashmir valley to beat the heat.
