Srinagar, Nov 12: Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Srinagar city witnessed the coldest night of the season on Wednesday as the minimum temperature dropped to minus 1.6 degrees Celsius, while the Pahalgam hill station recorded minus 3.8.
\nThe Meteorological (MeT) Department officials said the minimum temperature dropped to minus 1.6 degrees Celsius in Srinagar city on Wednesday
\n\u201cAs expected, the minimum temperature dropped to minus 1.6 degrees Celsius in Srinagar today, which is the lowest this season so far. The night temperature is likely to drop further in the coming days. Pahalgam recorded minus 3.8 while Gulmarg recorded minus 1 today as the minimum temperature,\u201d the MeT officials said.
\nJammu city recorded 10 degrees, Katra town 9, Batote 4.5 and Bhaderwah 1.2 as the minimum temperature.
\nDue to the present cold wave in the Valley, people have started wearing woollens, including the traditional tweed overgarment called the \u2018Pheran\u2019. An earthen pot woven in a willow wicker basket filled with live charcoal called the \u2018Kangri\u2019 is kept under the \u2018Pheran\u2019 to ward off cold during the winter months.
\nPeople with a history of chest ailments, elders and children have been cautioned by local doctors not to expose themselves for longer periods of cold, as the air inhaled by people with lower immunity causes chest-related diseases.
\nThe 40-day-long period of harsh winter cold called the \u2018Chillai Kalan\u2019 begins each year on December 21 and ends on January 30. During this period, most water bodies in the Valley freeze either partially or completely, depending upon the severity of winter cold.
\nDrinking water taps also freeze during the Chillai Kalan, and locals have to battle with small fires lit around the water taps to de-freeze them. Roads become slippery, and pedestrians and motorists have to negotiate pedestrian malls and roads with caution to avoid accidents.
\nDuring extreme winter cold, even the day temperature rarely rises above 7 degrees Celsius in the Valley.<\/p>\n
