Jammu recorded a low of 4.5°C against 3.1°C on the previous night. It was 2.6°C below normal for J&K’s winter capital, he said.

Banihal recorded a low of minus 0.3°C (below normal by 0.1°C), Batote minus 0.5°C (below normal by 2.3°C), Katra 4.2°C (2.0°C below normal) and Bhadarwah minus 1.4°C (0.5°C below normal).

Ladakh, Leh and Kargil recorded a low of minus 15.8°C and minus 23.1°C respectively, the official said.

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.
