Record Snow For Northern India
Northern India is enduring one of its heaviest early-November snowfalls in years, with areas already in full winter condition.
The broader Kashmir highlands have been buried, including Sonamarg, Baltal, Zojila Pass, Razdan Top, Gurez Valley, Sinthan Top and Peer Ki Gali. While it was Gulmarg that saw the deepest totals, looking more like January than November (video below).
Razdan Top picked up fresh inches, along with surrounding ranges.
Temperatures have dropped below freezing, with more snowy systems forecast through November.
The early timing and depth are significant: Kashmir rarely sees sustained snow this early. The Himalayas have joined the broader Asian pattern of rapid, record-challenging November accumulation.
Record-Breaking Wintry Surges In China
The seasonal shift is well under way in southern China, even Taiwan feels like autumn now. But it’s the north that’s grabbing the headlines: Xinjiang has just registered one of its most powerful early-November snow events on record.
