He said that complete dry weather was expected this week while weather may change gradually from February 10.
“I can’t share the weather prediction for next week. We will issue detailed forecast after some days,” Ahmad said.
According to Ahmad, temperature will also see little dip during morning and evening hours. However, he said there was no weather warning.
Weather remained dry and there was significant improvement in day temperatures since last week. Last month saw multiple snow spells resulting in unabated cold in the region.
