Kashmir is witnessing an unusually warm February, with multiple weather stations across the Valley recording temperatures 9 to 11 degrees Celsius above seasonal normals, turning what is typically the harshest stretch of winter into conditions resembling early spring.

The Meteorological Department has forecast continued dry weather, with daytime temperatures likely to rise further by at least 1 degree Celsius by the end of the month if prevailing conditions persist.

The absence of strong Western Disturbances, clear skies and intense solar radiation have driven the sharp spike in temperatures.

Srinagar recorded a maximum of 21 degrees Celsius earlier this week, the highest February reading in nearly a decade and about 10 degrees above normal, breaking the previous all-time February high of 20.6 degrees Celsius recorded on February 24, 2016.
