He added that the stable atmosphere and persistent dry weather conditions that continued for a long now are the main reasons behind significant rise in day temperature.

Moreover, MeT has predicted light rains or snow at isolated places across Kashmir, which would likely bring the mercury down.

“There is a possibility of light rains or snow at isolated places from March 18 evening to March 19,” Deputy Director, MeT, Mukhtar Ahmad, said, adding that the temperature may go down after fresh wet spell.

In the meantime, the water level has increased in river Jhelum and other water bodies.
