The rains across various parts of Kashmir have brought blessed relief from the oppressive heatwave that had gripped the valley. For weeks, residents had endured soaring temperatures, making daily life difficult and raising health concerns. The rain showers, which began over the weekend, have significantly cooled the atmosphere, offering a refreshing change.
For many, the rains have felt like a blessing. The relentless heat had not only caused discomfort but also posed serious health risks, with an increase in cases of dehydration. Farmers, too, had been anxiously watching their crops, worried about the impact of the extreme heat on their livelihoods. The rains have rejuvenated the parched earth and revived hopes for a better yield, bringing smiles to the faces of many.
The rain has also helped in reducing dust and pollutants in the air, contributing to improved air quality. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory issues, who had been struggling during the peak of the heatwave.
Schoolchildren, in particular, have found joy in the rains. With the break in the heat, they have taken to the outdoors, splashing in puddles and enjoying the cooler temperatures. Their laughter and playfulness have added to the sense of relief and happiness that the rains have brought to the Valley.
