For the subsequent days, fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall over south Peninsular India with isolated heavy falls likely over north Tamilnadu and adjoining south Coastal Andhra Pradesh. While regions over Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan & Muzaffarabad are likely to experience isolated rainfall or snowfall. And remaining parts of the country will experience dry weather.
