Kashmir's winter deepens with 4 new weather systems

Jammu and Kashmir is set to experience a prolonged spell of inclement weather, with forecasters predicting four consecutive western disturbances over the next ten days, starting from Friday evening. These systems are expected to bring intermittent light to moderate rain and snowfall, primarily affecting the Kashmir valley.

While the harshest winter period, Chillai Kalan, had been largely dry, its final week has already seen considerable snowfall. The approaching weather systems coincide with the beginning of Chilai Khurd, the second most severe phase of winter. The first, feeble disturbance arrived Friday night, with more substantial systems expected to bring widespread light rain and snowfall from Saturday evening.

Temperatures are anticipated to fluctuate, with a potential improvement in night temperatures. Authorities have also issued advisories, urging residents and farmers to take precautions. There is a specific warning for avalanche-prone areas, particularly in higher districts like Kupwara, Bandipora, Ganderbal, Doda, and Kishtwar, following snowfall since January 22.
