Srinagar, (TDD): Kashmir Valley is bracing for more snowfall as the year concludes and the new year begins, with the Meteorological Department forecasting the arrival of two Western Disturbances (WDs) in quick succession starting January 1.
While dry weather is expected to continue until the end of this year, a weak WD is set to bring cloudy skies and light snow to scattered locations from the evening of January 1 through the morning of January 2. A stronger WD is predicted to affect the region from January 3 to 6, bringing moderate snowfall to many parts of Kashmir and scattered snow to Jammu Division.
Additionally, the MeT department has issued a cold wave warning for isolated areas on December 30 and 31, urging travelers and locals to stay updated on weather conditions due to the possibility of icy roads.
With the ongoing Chilla-e-Kalan, Kashmir’s harsh 40-day winter period that began on December 21, these weather systems are expected to further intensify the cold spell, with additional snowfall anticipated in the coming days.(TDD)
