The havoc of cold has started increasing in the country. Especially in many states of North India, the temperature dropped rapidly. And due to this, the outbreak of cold has started erupting, according to the Meteorologists Department, this year will be colder than usual. Many reasons are being counted for this. By the way, the reason for the intensification of cold waves in the northern areas is due to the latitude of this region.
For example, if we talk about Delhi, then it is surrounded by Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. The cold winds blowing from here drowning the whole of North India including Delhi in the cold. This happens every year but this time the winters can be harsh. From November 15 this year, snowfall started in the higher reaches, and the cold increased. The reason for this is the western disturbance, due to which cold winds are coming from there. Due to which the wrath of cold in the northern areas has already gone. Along with this, people are facing problems due to cold winds. Fog is also increasing in the morning there is a lot of fog in the morning.
A major drop in temperature has been recorded in North India in the last week. Along with the capital Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Jammu and Kashmir have forecast severe cold wave conditions for the next few days. In this connection, the Meteorological Department had also issued an alert for these states. This prediction of IMD seems to be correct to a large extent, as the minimum temperature is continuously going down over the whole of North India for the last three days.
Let us tell you that what can be the reason for the cold weather in North India, experts believe, one of the reasons behind the severe cold in India this year is the effect of 'La Nina'. According to the American Geoscience Institute, the terms El Nio and La Nia refer to periodic changes in the sea surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean. It affects the weather around the world. In simple words, the temperatures are warm because of El Nio and cool because of La Nia. Both usually last for 9-12 months but can last for many years in exceptional cases.
The reason for the cold is associated with the ocean or there is also an effect of storms. This condition arises when there is low air pressure on the surface of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. There are different reasons for its origin, but the most standard reason is that it arises when the trade wind, that is, the east-flowing wind blows at a very high speed. This significantly lowers the sea surface temperature. Its direct effect is on the temperature around the world and the temperature becomes colder than average. La Nia generally results in cooler weather in the northwest and warmer weather in the southeast. India experiences severe cold during this time and rains are also good.
It is because of La Nina that the cold winds of Siberia and South China, located in the east, come towards the Indian subcontinent. The effect of these winds is such that many times the temperature in the states of South India also goes down a little below normal. La Nina in the north during the winter season causes severe cold from the northern region of India to the snowy hills of Afghanistan, Iran, and the Hindu-Kush
According to scientists, this time due to La Nina, the severe cold conditions will last from December to February. It is believed that the effect of La Nina will become stronger during this period. However, the intensity of cold in India is not only dependent on the effect of La Nina, but also some other factors like western disturbances also play an important role in the winter season.
If we talk about the temperature of Delhi itself, then where the minimum temperature was 6 degrees Celsius on Saturday, it was 4.6 degrees Celsius on Sunday. On Monday morning, Delhi witnessed its coldest morning of the season when the minimum temperature was recorded at 3.2 degrees Celsius. In such a situation, the common people are worried about how long the outbreak of this cold will last and why did the winter suddenly increase so much in the middle of December?
Overall, if we talk about cold, then scientists have been warning time and again that this cold is going to be harsh. In the meantime, they also understand that how cold is called resentful cold. According to the report, meteorologists understand it by comparing it with normal temperature. If the temperature falls below normal by 4 to 5 degrees Celsius, then it is considered cold. On the other hand, if this temperature falls by 6 to 7 degrees, then it comes in the category of severe cold.
