It is 'several days' between her meeting with Nakomi and Rhuidean:
And then her first trip through the columns takes 'days':
And then, the clouds break some time during the second of the future visions, yet another day later:
Even if we only had a day, that would be enough time for it to have been Verin, but clearly Aviendha met Nakomi at least a week before Rand's epiphany on Dragonmount.
TITLE - Towers of Midnight
CHAPTER: 39 - In the Three-fold Land
Aviendha got out a waterskin. She could hardly spare a drop—she was still several days from Rhuidean—but it would give offense not to respond to the request after offering to share shade.

TITLE - Towers of Midnight
CHAPTER: 48 - Near Avendesora
When she had first entered days before, there had been gai'shain in white carefully picking up fallen leaves and twigs. They had retreated as soon as they had seen her. Was she the first to go through the glass pillars since Rhuidean's transformation? Her own clan had sent no one, and she was certain she would have heard of it if the others had.
That left only the Shaido, but they had rejected Rand's claims about the Aiel past. Aviendha suspected that if any Shaido had come, they would not have been able to bear what was shown here. They would have passed into the center of the glass columns and never returned.
That had not been the case for Aviendha. She had survived. Indeed, everything she'd seen had been expected. Almost disappointingly so.

CHAPTER: 48 - Near Avendesora
Aviendha's foot hit the flagstones. Around her, the forest of glass columns shimmered with prismatic color. It was like standing in the middle of an Illuminator's firework. The sun was high in the sky, cloud cover remarkably gone.

Yes, if from nothing else than from the explicit thoughts of Graendal about him.
