Jammu continues to reel under an intense heatwave as soaring temperatures and scorching sunshine have turned the city into a virtual furnace. Hot winds sweeping across the region have made outdoor conditions extremely uncomfortable, leaving residents struggling to cope with the relentless heat.
The impact of the heatwave is clearly visible across the city. Despite it being a Sunday holiday, roads, markets, and major intersections remained largely deserted as people chose to stay indoors to avoid the extreme temperatures. Only those with essential work were seen venturing outside during the day.
The severe weather is not only affecting people but also animals and birds. Stray animals and birds were seen searching for shade and water as the intense heat continued to grip the region. Residents are relying on fans and coolers to stay comfortable, but the hot and dry winds have provided little relief.
With humidity levels rising alongside the heat, people are eagerly waiting for a change in weather. Many are hoping for rainfall to bring down the temperatures and offer respite from the prolonged spell of scorching conditions.
When Will Jammu Get Relief?
According to the Meteorological Department, relief may be on the way. The department has forecast that pre-monsoon activity is likely to begin from July 1, with weather conditions expected to deteriorate over the next couple of days. Light to moderate rainfall is possible in some areas, which is expected to lower temperatures and provide much-needed relief from the ongoing heatwave.
