Kashmir just saw its hottest June in almost 5 decades
Soaring temperatures, drying streams, shortage of drinking water and people looking to the skies for respite – Kashmir is witnessing a scorching summer this year, with the unrelenting heatwave shattering records. 'This has been the hottest June since 1978,' Director, Meteorological Department Srinagar, Mukhtar Ahmad, told The Indian Express. 'The average day temperatures for June this year stood between 32 and 33 degrees Celsius. It is some three degrees above normal. The average minimum temperatures, too, have stayed on the higher side.' The heat has forced the government to advance summer vacations in educational institutions by two weeks to a month. While the schools were shut for summer break from June 23, higher education institutions were closed from June 25. Usually, schools would shut for summer vacations in the second week of July, while higher education institutions would shut in the first or second week of August. July and August are typically the hottest months in the Valley. The government said it will observe weather conditions before deciding whether to open schools after the summer break or extend the vacations. Data indicates this was the second-hottest June in Srinagar since 1892, when the data first started being recorded. 'The only hotter June on record for the city (Srinagar) was in 1978 when the overall average temperature reached 25 degrees Celsius driven by higher mean maximum (temperature) of 32.9 degrees Celsius, though the mean minimum (temperature) that year was lower at 17.1 degrees Celsius,' said independent weather forecaster Faizan Arif. Arif said that this year, the average minimum temperature for June was recorded at 18.2 degrees Celsius. 'We may have had some years when the highest temperature for June may have been higher than this year. But what we are observing is that this year, the temperatures are continuously hovering above normal,' Arif told The Indian Express. The heatwave has caused a shortage of drinking water in parts of the Valley, while irrigation canals are running dry, putting a strain on farmers, particularly in south Kashmir. 'If there are no immediate rains, we fear that our entire crop will be lost,' said Abdul Qayoom, a farmer from south Kashmir's Pulwama. 'Our apple orchards need water because of the dry spell and the high temperatures, but the canals are running dry.' Weathermen expect some rain in the first week of July. 'We expect that the hot weather will continue till July 4, but after that we expect some rain – both in Kashmir and Jammu – from July 5 to July 8,' Met director Ahmad told The Indian Express. 'What would happen after that is too early to say.' Bashaarat Masood is a Special Correspondent with The Indian Express. He has been covering Jammu and Kashmir, especially the conflict-ridden Kashmir valley, for two decades. Bashaarat joined The Indian Express after completing his Masters in Mass Communication and Journalism from the University in Kashmir. He has been writing on politics, conflict and development.

Two Dead As France Registers Second-Hottest June On Record
Two people died in France as a result of "heat-related illness", said the minister for ecological transition on Wednesday, as the country registered its second-hottest June since records began in 1900. A heatwave across Europe this week broke high temperature records, leading to the closure of nearly 2,000 schools in France at midday on Tuesday. "More than 300 people have been treated by firefighters and two have died following heat-related illnesses," ecology minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher said on Wednesday. "June 2025 has become the second hottest June since records began in 1900, behind June 2003," she added. Temperatures in June 2025 were 3.3 degrees Celsius higher than the seasonal average compared to 3.6 degrees Celsius in June 2003, her office said. Meteo-France said June 30 was the hottest day in June since measurements began in 1947, beating the previous record set in 2019. Relief will start to arrive from the Atlantic on Wednesday, bringing thunderstorms and cooler temperatures to parts of western Europe.
