Feeling the heat
A study was carried out by Scientists of Jammu’s Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture, Science and Technology to find decadal temperature trends across different zones of the state

The focus was to study the rise in temperature over a 10-year period for 30 years. The average high in summer and winter temperature could be 1.2°C to 1.5°C, which is not a good sign for the Himalayan region, says the study
