Kashmir Gripped by Intense Cold Spell
The Kashmir Valley is currently experiencing its most severe cold wave in nearly two decades for the month of November. Official data confirms that this is shaping up to be the region's coldest November since the year 2007, sending a deep chill across its picturesque landscapes.
Srinagar Records Season's Lowest Temperature
The capital city, Srinagar, bore the brunt of this frigid weather on the night of November 27, 2025. The city's meteorological station recorded a minimum temperature of minus 4.5 degrees Celsius, making it the coldest night of the current season so far. This reading was even lower than the previous night's minimum of minus 4.4 degrees Celsius, indicating a consistent and sharp downward trend in the mercury.
A Look at the Broader Weather Pattern
This significant temperature drop is not an isolated event but part of a larger, intense cold spell enveloping the entire region. The sub-zero temperatures recorded in late November are a clear indicator of an early and harsh winter setting in. Such prolonged cold conditions this early in the season are rare, with the last comparable event occurring eighteen years prior.
The local population has been advised to take necessary precautions against the cold, especially during the night and early morning hours. This intense cold wave is expected to have implications for daily life, agriculture, and tourism in the valley as winter tightens its grip.
