Srinagar, Jan 18: The freezing conditions intensified further in Kashmir valley with minimum temperature plunging to minus 4.3°C in Srinagar while Qazigund recorded its coldest night so far this season at minus 7.4°C on Wednesday.
A meteorological department official here said that Srinagar recorded a drop of 1.6°C against last night’s minus 2.7°C. Today’s minimum temperature, he said, was 2.2°C below normal for the summer capital, he said.
Qazigund, he said, recorded a low of minus 7.4°C against minus 5.4°C on the previous night and it was 4.1°C below normal and the coldest night this season for the gateway town of Kashmir.

He said weather is likely to be mainly dry and partly cloudy during the next 24 hours.
“From January 19-21, weather is likely to be cloudy with chances of light rain/snow over isolated to scattered places mainly over higher reaches,” he said, adding, “From 22nd to 24th, there is possibility of light to moderate rain and snow over plains and moderate snow over middle and higher reaches most likely during 23rd/24th January at most places of J&K.”
Kashmir is under the grip of Chillai-Kalan, the 40-day long harsh winter period that started on December 21. It does not mean an end to the winter either. It is followed by a 20-day-long period called ‘Chillai-Khurd’ that occurs between January 30 and February 19 and a 10-day-long period ‘Chillai-Bachha’ (baby cold) which is from February 20 to March 1.
