About Handwara weather
Handwara is one of many towns in Jammu and Kashmir, split between the hot Jammu plains and the cooler, mostly monsoon-sheltered Kashmir valley, about 22 km north of Baramulla. Before the rains arrive, there's a summer that varies sharply by elevation — hot in the Jammu plains (often above 35°C) but pleasantly cool in the Kashmir valley (low-to-mid 20s°C). Then comes a lighter monsoon presence than most of India (July–September, felt mainly in Jammu), with the Kashmir valley largely sheltered by the Pir Panjal range. Cooler months mean a cold winter (December–February) — the Kashmir valley regularly sees snowfall and sub-zero nights, while Jammu stays milder.
