Met advises tourist to follow traffic advisory as cold wave grips Kashmir

Srinagar, Dec 24: The weather department on Monday advised tourists to follow the advisory issued by the traffic police in view of the sub freezing temperatures and icy conditions over roads of important higher reaches in Kashmir.

Intense cold wave conditions persisted in the valley on Monday as minimum temperatures across the region remained several degrees below freezing point.

The sub-zero temperatures led to the freezing of water supply lines while a thin layer of ice covered the surface of several water bodies.

Srinagar recorded a low of minus 3.6 degrees Celsius on Sunday night rising by nearly four degrees from the previous night, the meteorological department said.

Pahalgam, the base camp for annual Amarnath Yatra in South Kashmir, registered a minimum temperature of minus 5 degrees Celsius, almost unchanged from the previous night, it said.

There was a slight dip in night temperature in Gulmarg, a tourist resort town known for skiing activities in north Kashmir, where the mercury settled at a low of minus 4.8 degrees Celsius, the department added. (PTI)
