Double Trouble: Kashmir Prepares for Storms in January

Double Trouble: Kashmir Prepares for Storms in January

Experts suggest that there will be two western disturbances coming to Kashmir during the first part of January. Meteorologists warn that heavy snow might affect the higher reaches of the state and could possibly disrupt either road or air traffic.

The change in weather is going to be a challenge for tourists as well as locals. Because snowfall is expected in the winter season, the harsh effects caused by these disturbances may create an aftereffect on daily life. Road closures and power failures are expected to be mostly found in remote areas where it would take time to clear snow.

However, as far as travel planning goes for tourists traveling to Kashmir, disruptions would naturally affect such plans and delays could occur. While these disturbances might boost the famed winter sports events in this part of the region, their associated weather risks deserve caution.

Kashmir has to be prepared for yet another potential storm event that could wreak further havoc on its already trying winters in the new unpredictable weather event paradigm. Nature's twisting weather patterns remind us all about the very fragile nexus existing in making the region's infrastructure work and economy during the colder months.
