Srinagar sits in the Kashmir Valley at high elevation, giving it a climate quite different from the rest of India, with the summer southwest monsoon playing a much smaller role here than the western disturbances that bring rain and mountain snow between December and March. Summer weather tends to be milder and drier than lowland India, though sudden intense cloudbursts during the brief monsoon influence in July and August have occasionally caused serious flooding, most notably in 2014, making radar a useful tool even outside the region’s usual rainy season.
