The Indian Meteorological Department reported that temperatures in several parts of Kashmir have dropped below freezing, prompting concerns over frost and travel disruptions.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a bulletin indicating that temperatures across several regions of Kashmir have fallen below the freezing point. The drop was recorded during the early morning hours and marks a significant cold spell for the area.
Affected districts include parts of the Kashmir Valley where night-time lows are expected to remain under 0°C for the next 24 to 48 hours. Local authorities are monitoring the situation closely as sub‑zero conditions can lead to frost formation on crops and road surfaces.
Officials have advised residents to take precautionary measures, such as limiting travel on exposed roads and protecting vulnerable plants. Schools and public services in the most affected zones may adjust timings if conditions worsen.
The current cold wave follows a pattern of seasonal temperature declines typical for the region’s winter, but the depth of the freeze is notable compared with recent years, prompting heightened alerts from weather agencies.
