Kashmir Valley is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave, with temperatures rising six degrees above normal, breaking a 40-year record. Tourists expecting relief from the heat are disappointed, finding the weather as hot as other parts of India. Key tourist spots like Pahalgam, Gulmarg, and Sonamarg are also affected. The MeT Department predicts the heatwave will continue for the next two weeks. Many tourists arrived with winter clothes, expecting cooler temperatures.
