Amid the rise in day and night temperatures, almond trees have been blossoming prematurely in Kashmir Valley, causing concern to the region’s farmers. If temperature rise up earlier, the fruit trees will develop early blight, which may cause the sector to suffer.
Independent meteorologist Faizan Aril said that there used to be snow in the month of February-. But this year, no snow was recorded during this month. He said on the other hand, the day and night temperatures were higher than normal during this month which could be the reason the buds started to break out prematurely. He said that premature rise in temperature can have negative effects on many things.
