Srinagar, June 8 -- - The summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir sweltered under the hottest day of the season on Tuesday as mercury touched 34.3 degrees Celsius.

This was also highest June temperature after 5 June 2018 when 35.0 degrees Celsius temperature was recorded, a meteorological department official said, as per news agency GNS. "By mistake, 33.4 degree Celsius is shown to be recorded on 5 June 2018 in the data available on the department's website but after checking from the records available with the department the temperature was actually 35.0 degree Celsius on the day," he said, adding, "today was the hottest day in three years." Today's day temperature in Srinagar was above normal by 6.4 Degrees Celsius, the official said.
