Rains were already reported in Srinagar this morning and will continue for the entire day
Meanwhile, the maximum temperatures today are mostly going to be around 10C in high altitude regions like Srinagar and close to 5-8C in Leh. Minimum temperatures are definitely falling below 0C in Manali,Kargil,Leh,Baralacha pass which will definitely bring some snowfall today and tonight in these areas given the nice cool freezing environment.
The minimum temperatures in Leh are expected to near -10C and windchill of -15C!!!!!
Snowfall now will become very common in these areas. In Shimla,there are rains today and I expect snowflakes in Manali!
