Jammu and Kashmir City Wise Weather: J&K is set to witness mixed weather in the coming days, with light rain in some areas initially giving way to a more active spell of thunderstorms and rainfall between May 3 and May 5, according to meteorological forecasts. According to MeT officials early part of the first week of May 2026 will remain largely stable. A Western Disturbance is expected to bring moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, particularly on May 3 and May 4. Srinagar, meanwhile, is expected to remain relatively cool with a maximum temperature of around 15°C, with isolated showers rather than any widespread heavy precipitation.
According to meteorologist Faizan Arif, who shared updates on his X handle under Kashmir Weather, the region will see a gradual transition from stable conditions to rainfall activity:
April 30: Overall, no major weather activity expected. A few parts of Jammu and Kashmir may see isolated rain spells or thundershowers.
May 1: Mostly fine weather. Some thundershowers possible in a few areas towards late afternoon or evening, mainly in higher reaches.
May 2: Similar pattern as May 1, with mostly fine weather and isolated thundershowers in higher regions during evening hours.
May 3–4: A Western Disturbance is likely to bring rain spells and thundershowers across multiple parts of the Union Territory
.
Srinagar is expected to see fluctuating conditions with thunderstorms early in the forecast period, followed by clearer and warmer days.
Today April 29: Thunderstorms likely in the morning, followed by scattered activity later.
