"The minimum temperature was minus 0.2 degree Celsius during the night in Srinagar city. This is the lowest recorded temperature this season so far in Srinagar city," Met Office director Sonam Lotus told IANS Monday.
Lotus said the night temperatures are likely to drop further during the next seven days in the Kashmir Valley and the Ladakh region due to expected dry weather during this period.

Leh town and Kargil recorded minus 9.6 and minus 8.7 degrees Celsius respectively.
