Winter temperatures are getting to their lowest limit by every season. There are instances of people dying of Sun strokes and heat waves, but this winter cold waves are also no less in claiming lives. Comparatively, the Northern part of the Indian Sub-continent experiences more low temperatures than its other parts. Due to the presence of the Himalayas, the northern cold winds are stopped there and temperatures become severe.
Officials at the Meteorological Department of India had this to say about the changing and soaring temperatures. "The minimum temperature in Jammu was 2.6 degrees Celsius on Friday which is the lowest in this season. After 11 long years, the minimum temperature has dropped so much in Jammu".
Giving the media, the needed information about other changes in the temperatures over the years, the official said, "On December 31st in the year 2007, the minimum temperature hit at 2.3 degrees Celsius. After which Srinagar continued to experience such cold temperatures over the years".
The intensively cold temperatures are rampant in the area, which has recently settled at a minus 7.7 degrees Celsius recently. The lowest ever in 28 years of cold temperature history. "On December 7, 1990, the minimum was minus 8.8 degree Celsius in Srinagar", said the official.
In the area of Pahalgam district, the minimum was minus 9.5 degree Celsius. The district of Gulmarg recorded a minus 9.3 degree Celsius as its minimum temperature. Leh had recorded a minus 15.1 degree and Kargil had 16.1 degree Celsius as their minimum temperatures on Friday the December 28th,2018.
Srinagar is a valley surrounded by Himalayan Mountains on all its sides. With this, it has a humid sub-tropical climate. On an average, the daytime temperature itself is at around 2.5 degrees Celsius. So, them touching a record low is not a new thing.
Thanks to the Himalayas, which block the much colder Siberian winds, otherwise Northern India would freeze in winters.
