We are currently experiencing "Chillai-Kalan" in the Kashmir valley, a hard 40-day winter season that ends on January 29.This does not, however, indicate the end of winter, since there is still a 20-day period known as "Chillai-Khurd" from January 30 to February 19 and a 10-day period known as "Chillai-Bachha" (baby cold) from February 20 to March 1. Against normal weather patterns, Srinagar had a higher maximum temperature today than Jammu City. Both people and meteorologists are interested in this peculiar weather phenomenon, wherein Srinagar records a greater maximum temperature than Jammu. Because of its position, Jammu usually has warmer winters than Srinagar, which has colder temperatures.
