Shopian freezes at -6.6 degrees Celsius, weather to remain dry till Dec 16, says MeT dept Kashmir
Srinagar:Temperatures plummeted across Kashmir once again painting a vivid picture of nature’s frosty majesty with Srinagar recording the coldest night of the season at minus 4.1 degrees Celsius.
Shopian emerged as the coldest place, shivering at a bone-chilling -6.6°C. Even Srinagar, the heart of Kashmir, woke up to a frosty -4.1°C.
Jammu’s hilly terrains weren’t spared either. Padder stood out with an unforgiving -8.4°C, making it colder than most of Kashmir’s renowned destinations. Yet, warmer spots like Jammu city basked at 8.6°C, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding chill. The pilgrimage town of Katra, a gateway to Vaishno Devi, remained relatively moderate at 4.3°C, while Banihal and Bhaderwah saw frost-laden mornings at -2.6°C and 0.3°C, respectively.
Further north, Ladakh proved its reputation as the coldest region. Leh, a dream destination for adventurers, endured a biting -10.4°C, making it one of the iciest places in the area. Kargil, shrouded in mystery under its snow-blanketed mountains, awaited its turn to reveal the season’s freezing extremes.
The weather man in Kashmir has predicted dry weather till December 16 signalling further drop in night temperatures. (News Vibes of India)
