peculiar character and distinctive charm. These are spring, summer, autumn
and winter. Spring, which extends roughly from March to early May, is when
a million blossoms carpet the ground. The weather during this time can be
gloriously pleasant at 23OC or chilly and windy at 6OC. This is the season
when Srinagar experiences rains, but the showers are brief. Summer extends
from May until the end of August. Light woollens may be required to wear
out of Srinagar. In higher altitudes night temperatures drop slightly.
Srinagar at this time experiences day temperatures of between 25OC and
35OC. At this time, the whole valley is a mosaic of varying shades of
green - rice fields, meadows, trees, etc. and Srinagar with its lakes and
waterways is a heaven after the scorching heat of the Indian plains.The
onset of Autumn, perhaps Kashmir's loveliest season, is towards September,
when green turns to gold and then to russet and red. The highest day
temperatures in September are around 23OC and night temperatures dip to
10OC by October, and further drop by November, when heavy woollens are
essential.
