Why is Adampur of Punjab so freezing?
Adampur, a small town in the heart of Punjab, is known for its Bone-chilling winters. Adampur is situated in the northern part of Punjab, close to the foothills of the Shivalik range. This proximately to the hills plays a crucial role in its winter weather. During the colder months, cold air from the mountains descends into the region, causing the temperatures to plummet. The Shivalik Hills act as a barrier, trapping the cold air and preventing it from escaping, which results in lower temperatures, especially at night.
