A Kashmiri man fishes from a boat amid lotus leaves on the waters of Dal Lake during a hot summer day in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 19, 2026. Kashmir is experiencing a severe heatwave as the summer season begins, with temperatures rising sharply across the Valley and several parts of India facing unusually hot weather conditions. Dal Lake, a prominent tourist destination in Kashmir, faces ecological challenges, with tens of millions of liters of sewage entering the lake daily, along with approximately 80,000 tonnes of silt annually and waste from nearby settlements and houseboats. Increased nitrogen and phosphorus levels contribute to aggressive weed growth and reduced oxygen levels, impacting the lake's ecosystem.
