Cold Waves In Kashmir And Uttarakhand:  The cold is increasing in the mountains. Temperatures are dropping in many areas from Kashmir to Uttarakhand. Icy winds have exacerbated the cold in many areas of the mountains. But will Delhi also experience severe cold by the end of November, or will Delhi still have to wait for the cold to arrive?

Cold has already intensified in the mountains

Cold in Kashmir

The effects of the previous snowfall have led to a rise in cold in the Kashmir Valley. Temperatures in areas like Gulmarg and Pahalgam dropped below freezing in the first week of November.
