Lotus said heavy rains in Jammu and Kashmir would continue today, but the weather conditions would improve from tomorrow.
He said the present spate of rains were caused by easterly and westerly winds.
“There will be snowfall in the higher reaches of the Kashmir Valley in the next 24 hours. The present weather conditions brought down temperatures across the state because of a cumulative effect of westerly and easterly winds,” the official said.
