SRINAGAR: High altitude areas of Kashmir including the famous ski resort of Gulmarg today experienced fresh snowfall while Srinagar and other plains were lashed by rains, resulting in considerable drop in the mercury.
The snowfall preceded rains which lashed wide parts of the Valley including Srinagar since this afternoon, prompting people to look for woolens which they have started discarding over the past couple of days due to improvement in the day temperature.
The day temperature in Srinagar dropped by almost four degrees today to settle at 10.6 degrees Celsius, two degrees below normal during this part of the season, a spokesman of the MeT office said here.
He said the city recorded a low of 4.3 degrees Celsius, two notches above normal owing to cloud cover. (AGENCIES)
