Kashmir's coldest night partially freezes Dal
However, the partially frozen parts near the banks melted as the day progressed.
It was the coldest night of the season so far after the minimum temperature was recorded at minus 4.2 degree Celsius which was 3.2 degree below normal, a weather office spokesman told UNI.
Major and small pounds across the Kashmir valley were also frozen because of severe cold while water supply in many areas was affected after the tapes were frozen. Majority of nullahs have also dried up because of no rainfall. Many pounds in the valley, including in the central Kashmir, were also frozen.
The weather office spokesman said that in the absence of Western Disturbances (WD), the chances of rainfall in the near future in the region was almost bleak.
The frequency of WD is not enough to cause rain or snowfall, he said adding major fall in the minimum temperature was because of open sky during the day and night.
