Summer capital Srinagar, which has experienced pleasant weather due to frequent pre-monsoon rains, recorded a high of 31.5 degrees Celsius against the previous day's 28.1 degrees Celsius and a low of 19.2 degrees Celsius against previous night's 17.7 degrees Celsius, he said.

The spokesperson said the day and night temperature in the city is slightly higher than the season's average of 30.2 degrees Celsius (maximum) and 17.7 degrees Celsius (minimum).
