MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): Muzaffarabad weather update: Muzaffarabad is currently experiencing pleasant weather as dark clouds have covered the sky. Light winds have provided relief from the heat and humidity.
According to the Meteorological Department, there is a chance of rain in Muzaffarabad within the next 12 hours.
The weather forecast shows partly cloudy conditions tonight with a low of 65°F.
Over the next few days, temperatures are expected to range between 80°F and 89°F, with scattered thunderstorms anticipated on Friday and light showers forecast for the weekend.
Humidity levels remain moderate, and winds will be mild, blowing from the northeast and southeast.
Residents can enjoy the cooler weather but should stay prepared for possible rain in the coming hours.
The weather in the capital city of Muzaffarabad suddenly changed as strong winds began blowing, covering the area in dust and debris. If we talk about the Neelum Bridge, the strong winds caused animals present on the bridge to become agitated and start moving around. Several vehicles narrowly avoided collisions.
On one side, garbage and waste were flying through the air due to the strong winds, landing on vehicles and pedestrians. On the other side, animals were running wildly across the bridge, preventing what could have been a major accident.
However, the relevant authorities seem to be asleep as stray animals continue to roam freely on the roads. The bridge has also become difficult to walk on due to animal waste scattered everywhere.
The situation highlights the need for immediate action to manage stray animals and maintain cleanliness, especially during such weather disruptions.
