As of January 2026, parts of Dal Lake in Srinagar have frozen due to a severe cold wave currently sweeping through the Kashmir Valley. The region is in the midst of Chillai-Kalan, a 40-day period of extreme winter (December 21 to January 30) characterized by sub-zero temperatures and high chances of snowfall.

Weather Outlook: A western disturbance is expected around January 16, which may bring changes to the current dry and freezing weather.
