Srinagar: Two days after season’s major snowfall, mercury plummeted across the Kashmir Valley with Pahalgam recording coldest with minus 12.5 Degrees Celsius, colder than Leh.
A meteorological department official here told INS that the minimum temperature in this summer capital of the state settled at minus 4.0 degree Celsius against minus 1.2 degree Celsius on previous night.
The night temperature in Pahalgam dropped to minus 12.5 degree Celsius, the official said. The low temperature fell by nearly five degrees Celsius in the hill resort in south Kashmir from previous night’s minus 7.9 Degrees Celsius.
Qazigund, the gate town of Kashmir, saw a low of minus 5.3 degree Celsius as against minus 0.6 degree Celsius on previous night while Kokernag, also in south Kashmir, recorded a minimum of minus 4.7 degree Celsius against minus 2.2 degrees Celsius on last night.
