There is a strong possibility that the maximum temperature in Srinagar city will reach 35°C to 37°C today (29 June), with most weather models showing good agreement. A few models, however, indicate a slightly lower maximum of around 34°C.
Across the Kashmir region, daytime temperatures are expected to remain 4°C to 8°C above normal, resulting in heatwave conditions over many areas.
The heatwave is likely to persist through tomorrow (30 June) as well.
Meanwhile, no significant rise in temperatures is expected over most parts of Jammu region, where monsoon-like conditions continue. As a result, short occasional showers are possible in some parts of Jammu during the next 48 hours.
Improvement in temperatures is expected from Wednesday, with further relief from Thursday onwards as a Western Disturbance is set to come to the rescue.
