Due to the incessant rains, many low-lying areas in Srinagar and other parts of the Valley were waterlogged.
A MeT official said there has been significant reduction in precipitation and weather is likely to be partly cloudy with possibility of light rain at isolated places during next 24 hours.
“On April 18-19, weather is generally going to be cloudy with light rain in plains and snow over higher reaches at many places. The thunder and lightning can occur during April 18th night to late afternoon or evening on April 19,” he said.
