As night temperature rose above freezing point in Kashmir for the first time in more than a week on Wednesday, MeT has given a prediction of light snowfall and rain within the next two days.
“The weather is most likely to remain cold and dry till the end of November in entire Jammu and Kashmir. However, there is 40% to 50% chance of very light snowfall over extreme north Kashmir on November 25. Overall, there is no forecast for any major weather event for next two weeks,” said a senior official of IMD in Srinagar.
The Valley is currently witnessing foggy conditions owing to sub-zero temperatures.
IMD officials said the temperatures will keep dipping till a western disturbance will change the dry weather condition. The cold temperature has led to disruption in power supply owing to overuse of electricity across Kashmir.
The notorious chilly winter of Kashmir has come a bit early as the much dreaded cold of ‘Chillai Kalan’, is still almost a month away.
