Meanwhile, the Kashmir valley is currently experiencing ‘Chillai-Kalan,’ the 40-day harsh period of winter, scheduled to conclude on January 29.
It’s crucial to note that the conclusion of ‘Chillai-Kalan’ does not mark the end of winter, as it is followed by a 20-day-long period known as ‘Chillai-Khurd’ from January 30 to February 19, and a 10-day-long period ‘Chillai-Bachha’ (baby cold) from February 20 to March 1. Stay tuned for further weather updates in the coming days.
