Snowfall has also been recorded over the higher reaches of Srinagar, with Mahadev Peak seen covered in fresh snow.

Moreover, there are also reports of snowfall from Kaobal Gali, Tulail Valley.

Snowfall today has remained confined to around 3900 metres and above.

This was expected as the prediction for extreme higher reaches was already shared.

When snowfall begins to occur over the extreme higher reaches, even during short spells, it can signal the onset of autumn and the withdrawal of monsoon season.
