Geography

[edit]

Anantnag district has a total area of 3,574 square kilometres (1,380 sq mi). The district is bordered byKargil district andKishtwar district in the east,Doda district andRamban district to the south andGanderbal district to the north andKulgam,Srinagar,Pulwama andShopian districts to the west.

Climate

[edit]

Anantnag features a moderate climate (Köppen climate classification). Anantnag's climate is largely defined by its geographic location, with the toweringKarakoram to its east and the Pirpanjal range to the south. It can be generally described as cool in the spring and autumn, mild in the summer, and cold in the winter. As a large city with significant differences in Geolocation among various districts, theweather is often cooler in the hilly areas of the east as compared to the flat northern part of Anantnag.

Summer is usually mild and with a little rain, butrelative humidity is generally high and the nights are cool. Theprecipitation occurs throughout the year but no one month is particularly dry. The hottest month is July (mean minimum temperature 6 °C, mean maximum temperature 32 °C) and the coldest are December–January (mean minimum temperature −15 °C, mean maximum temperature 0 °C).

Weather conditions are unpredictable. The record high temperature is 33 °C and the record low is −18 °C. On 5–6 January 2012, after years of relatively little snow, awave of heavy snow and low temperatures shocked the city covering it in a thick layer of snow and ice, forcing them to officially declare astate of emergency and calling the following two days (6 and 7 January) off for the whole valley.

Anantnag has seen an increase in relative humidity and annual precipitation in the last few years. This is most likely because of the commercial afforestation projects which also includes expanding parks and green cover. The suburb parts of Anantnag are lusher than the central part.Anantnag District possesses all the typical characteristics of the climate of Kashmir Valley as a whole. "In his introduction to theRajtarangini Kulan orKalhána, Pandit says about the climate of Valley: 'It is a country where the sun shines mildly, being the place created by Kashayapa as if for his glory. High school-houses, the saffron, iced water and grapes, which are rare even in heaven, are common here. Kailasa is the best place in the three worlds, Himalaya the best part of Kailásá, and Kashmir the best place in Himalaya.'"[11][12]

"Sir Walter Lawrence writes in his bookThe Valley of Kashmir that in latitude Kashmir corresponds with Peshawar, Baghdad and Damascus in Asia: with Fez in Morocco: and South Carolina in America, but it presents none of the characteristics of those countries. People have linked the climate of Kashmir to that of Switzerland until the end of May, and of Southern France in July and August. But it is impossible to speak of Kashmir as possessing any one climate or group of characteristics. Every hundred feet of elevation brings some new phase of climate and of vegetation."[12][11]
