Srinagar, Kashmir, India with Tmin of +25.0°C, the Second Highest since Records have begun in 1880!

The region of Kashmir, spanning parts of India and Pakistan, continues to experience exceptional warmth at unusually high elevations—a clear sign of shifting climate patterns in mountainous areas traditionally known for cooler temperatures.
On June 25th, 2025, the city of Srinagar, located at 1585 meters above sea level, recorded a minimum temperature of 25.0°C. This is the highest night temperature ever recorded in June since records began in the 1880s, and ranks as the second highest minimum temperature for any month in Srinagar’s recorded history.
Such elevated nighttime temperatures at this altitude are highly unusual, highlighting the growing intensity of heatwaves affecting even the mountainous zones of South Asia. The persistent warmth poses risks to public health, agriculture, and ecosystems that rely on cooler nights for recovery.
This record hot night in Srinagar reflects a broader regional trend of mountain warming that is accelerating under global climate change, signaling a worrying loss of traditional climatic buffers in the Himalayas and surrounding areas.
