Srinagar Swelters at 33.6°C: Unseasonal Heat Grips J&K
Unseasonal heatwave hits Srinagar, with temperatures soaring to an unusual 33.6°C. Locals face discomfort as the region continues to experience warmer-than-usual conditions this September.
Srinagar is facing an unexpected heatwave as temperatures soared to an unseasonal 33.6°C on Tuesday, leaving residents struggling with the sudden warmth. This unusual rise in temperature has caught many off guard, with the typically cooler autumn season now marked by sweltering heat.
Local meteorologists have raised concerns about the abnormal weather pattern, citing global warming as a potential factor for the current heatwave. This sharp rise in temperature has led to discomfort, particularly for vulnerable groups like the elderly and children, who are more susceptible to heat-related issues.
Srinagar residents are accustomed to cooler September weather, and many have expressed surprise at the ongoing heat. "We expected mild temperatures, not this intense heat," said a local shopkeeper. Schools and businesses are adjusting to the warmer conditions by reducing outdoor activities during peak hours.
Authorities have urged citizens to stay hydrated and limit outdoor exposure, especially during the hottest part of the day. Meanwhile, meteorological officials are closely monitoring the situation, though there is no immediate relief in sight.
As the heatwave continues, locals are left hoping for a break in this unusual weather pattern, with cooler temperatures expected to return later this month. For now, Srinagar remains in the grip of an unseasonal sizzle.
