The ski-resort of Gulmarg in north Kashmir recorded a low of minus 3.4 degrees Celsius compared to minus 2.0 degrees Celsius previous night, the official said.
Pahalgam, which serves as a base camp for the annual Amarnath Yatra shivered at a low of minus 4.2 degrees Celsius, which was nearly seven degrees down from the previous night’s 2.6 degrees Celsius.
Kashmir had received rainfall on Saturday night which had ended a prolonged spell of dry weather in the Valley and provided much needed respite from the weather-related health issues like cough and common cold.
The minimum temperature across Kashmir division had also increased due to the cloud cover, leading to a temporary respite from the cold conditions.
However, with the Meteorological Department forecasting mainly dry weather in the state over the week ahead a further drop in night temperatures could be witnessed.
