Dry spell in Kashmir likely to end by Dec 21
SRINAGAR, Dec 17 (PTI): The prolonged dry weather in Kashmir is likely to end as there is a possibility of a wet spell in the valley, coinciding with the onset of ‘Chillai-Kalan’ — the 40-day harshest winter period, officials said on Wednesday.
The local weather office has said a western disturbance is likely to impact Jammu and Kashmir during December 21-22 as the winter period marks its entry in the valley.
Due to this weather system, there is a possibility of moderate to heavy snowfall in the higher reaches of Kashmir, and light to moderate rains or snowfall in the plains of the valley, the officials said.
