Kashmir reeled under cold conditions as the minimum temperature settled below the freezing point, even as a thick layer of fog engulfed most parts of the valley, officials said on Thursday (December 4, 2025).
The night temperature in Srinagar settled at a low of -4°C on Wednesday (December 3, 2025) night, slightly up from -4.4°C the previous night, the officials said.
A thick blanket of fog wrapped Srinagar and other parts of the valley, especially areas around water bodies, they said.
Pulwama town in south Kashmir was the coldest recorded place in the valley with a minimum temperature of -5.6°C.
The gateway town to the valley, Qazigund, recorded a low of -3.6°C, while the minimum settled at -3°C in north Kashmir’s Kupwara, and -0.8°C in south Kashmir’s Kokernag, the officials said.
