The picture is of the Sikh holy place Hemkund Sahib in Uttarakhand, where up to one foot of snow has already accumulated.
This time there will be more cold in the country because 86% of the upper Himalayas have been covered with snow two months ahead of time. Due to the Western Disturbance in the past few days, the temperature across the Himalayas has remained 2 to 3 degrees lower. Because of this the fresh snowfall is not melting at the moment. This is a good sign.
La Nina is becoming active in December, which will further increase snowfall and cold. According to Dr. Manish Mehta, senior scientist at Wadia Institute of Himalayan Research, La Nina is a seasonal phenomenon of cooler than normal temperatures like the Pacific Ocean. Due to this, India receives good rains and extreme cold.
In the upper Himalayas i.e. areas at a height of more than 4 thousand feet, the average temperature is minus 15 degrees or even less. Due to La Nina, the average temperature in northern, central and eastern parts may fall further by 3-4 degrees.
At the same time, winter has arrived prematurely in entire Madhya Pradesh including Bhopal-Indore. The minimum temperature recorded in Bhopal was 15.8 degrees, which is 3.6 degrees below normal. This is the third time in the last 26 years that the temperature in Bhopal has been recorded this low in the first fortnight of October.
Snow has started accumulating on the mountains in the upper parts of Kedarnath Dham in Uttarakhand.
Same view from Nepal to Kashmir, snow catchment also increased According to Dr. Mehta, the latest snowfall has also given good signs of improving the health of the glaciers. This time the snow is not melting due to low temperature in the Himalayas. With this the glaciers will be recharged for 5 years. The sources of rivers across North India will not dry up.
There is a blanket of white snow on the entire high Himalayas from Sikkim, Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal to Nepal. The catchment area of snow has also increased. For this reason, the mercury has started falling in the middle and lower Himalayan regions and plains since October.
The world’s average temperature increased by 0.99 degrees in 122 years, now it is decreasing Scientific data shows that the average surface temperature of the Indian subcontinent has increased by 0.99°C over the past 122 years, but this increase will be temporarily reversed by the end of 2025, as La Nina is expected to cause the global average temperature to fall by 0.2°C.
