Kashmir is amidst an intense heatwave and a continued dry spell, leaving the water bodies in the region including the Jhelum River, considered the lifeline of Kashmir, depleted and with intermittent dry patches, forcing some houseboat owners to anchor their boats on its banks. According to the local Meteorological Department, 27 July 2024 at night, at 24.6 degrees Celsius was the hottest night in Srinagar in 132 years while the maximum temperature of 36.2 degrees Celsius recorded on 28 July 2024 was the fourth hottest July day in Srinagar's history. The ongoing heatwave and continued dry spell are affecting the agricultural and horticultural season while the power supply generated from hydropower plants has also declined drastically due to the low water discharge. The people in many parts of Kashmir including the Charar-e-Sharief shrine of Sufi saint Sheikh Nooruddin Noorani in central Kashmir's Budgam district also offered Salat-ul-Istiqlal prayers and held traditional dance and songs calling for an end to the ongoing dry spell.
