The Kashmir Valley is preparing for its inaugural snowfall of the 2025-2026 winter. This event is primarily driven by a strong Western Disturbance (WD), a low-pressure system originating from the Mediterranean Sea that typically brings precipitation to northwest India. Based on the latest updates from the Meteorological Department in Srinagar predicted the season's first snowfall is predicted.
It says “The first light to moderate snowfall is expected in higher reaches, including popular spots like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, and areas around Zojila Pass, on October 5-6, 2025. Light to moderate snow in the mountains, benefiting ski resorts like Gulmarg, but potentially disrupting passes like Zojila. The WD will also impact Ladakh and parts of Himachal Pradesh with similar snow.”
