The Kashmir Valley is grappling with an intense and unseasonal heatwave, with temperatures soaring well above normal, causing concern among residents and officials.

Farookh Ahmed Bhat, Scientific Officer at the MET Department in Srinagar, said, "Kashmir has been experiencing a heatwave for several days, but recent rains in many areas have slightly reduced the intensity. Temperatures remain one to two degrees above normal. However, the weather is expected to change soon, with chances of cooler temperatures and light rain, especially in hilly regions, after the 28th. If temperatures drop by around three degrees, the heatwave conditions are likely to ease within a week. We anticipate continued fluctuations in weather until then, with alternating periods of warmth and rainfall."

Heat wave conditions are very likely in isolated pockets of West Rajasthan during May 27 and 28.
