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.

Regarding the forecast, the MeT official said that weather was expected to be cloudy from January 7 and from January 8-10, there is possibility of  snowfall and rain (in plains of Jammu) at many places of J&K (70% chance).  Moderate rain and snowfall has been predicted during January 11-13 also.
