Jammu and Kashmir – Latest News, Weather & Insights

Welcome to your one‑stop hub for everything Jammu and Kashmir. Whether you’re tracking a storm, following a policy change, or just curious about what’s happening on the ground, we’ve got the most recent stories in plain language.

Current Weather Alerts

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a broad warning for North India, and J&K is right in the mix. Heavy to very heavy rain is expected across the valley, with the risk of landslides rising especially in Uttarkashi and parts of Jammu. If you’re planning travel, pack waterproof gear and keep an eye on local updates. The latest forecast shows rain spilling over into the evening, so roads could get slick and visibility might drop.

In addition to rain, temperatures are hovering in the low 20s (°C) during the day and can dip below 10°C at night in higher altitudes. Humidity is high, making it feel colder than the thermometer suggests. If you’re outdoors, dress in layers and stay hydrated – even cool weather can be dehydrating.

Top Stories Shaping the Region

Beyond the weather, the Kashmir carpet industry is feeling the heat of a new 50% US tariff. Exporters in Bhadohi, Kashmir, and Agra are scrambling for fresh markets as the US, their biggest buyer, becomes less viable. The industry is seeking government relief, faster tax refunds, and credit support to stay afloat.

Politically, local leaders are pushing for stronger autonomy and better infrastructure. Recent meetings have focused on improving road connectivity in remote districts, which could also help the carpet traders reach new customers faster.

On the cultural front, the valley’s vibrant festivals continue despite the rain. Communities are gathering in shrines and community halls, keeping traditions alive while staying safe during the weather alerts.

Our tag page also pulls in stories from neighboring regions that affect J&K, like the heavy rainfall warnings for Delhi, Punjab, and Himachal. These broader patterns can influence water levels in the Jhelum River, an important resource for the valley.

Stay tuned for updates on the ground situation, relief measures, and any changes in the forecast. We’ll keep the page fresh with new articles, video insights, and expert commentary as events unfold.
