Srinagar, July 5: A severe heatwave continues to grip the Kashmir Valley, with Srinagar witnessing its hottest day in 25 years on Friday, recording a temperature of 35.7 degrees Celsius. This temperature is significantly higher than usual, leaving local residents astonished.
According to officials from the meteorological department, this is the highest temperature recorded since 1999. The extreme heat has also led to power cuts in several areas, causing further inconvenience to the people.
Many locals have sought relief from the heat by heading to lakes and rivers, while others are trying to stay cool by remaining indoors. Doctors have advised increased water intake and avoiding outdoor work during this heat.
Weather experts suggest that this heatwave may persist for the next few days, and people need to exercise caution. The intense heat in Srinagar and surrounding areas is also causing difficulties for farmers and orchardists in taking care of their crops and orchards.

Heatwaves of this magnitude are rare in the Kashmir Valley, making this situation a matter of concern for everyone. Experts believe that such events may increase due to climate change, and preparations are needed to address these impacts in the future.
