New Delhi:
The weather has immediately taken such a turn that people are starting to feel the heat in January itself. The cold is disappearing in the month of February and people are feeling the summer of April. This change in the weather has also become a problem for birds. In Uttarakhand, in the winter season, where the tweet of birds used to hear it, it has now calmed down. Due to rising temperature, migratory birds are migrating prematurely. These birds usually come here from Europe and Central Asia in November and remain until March. But this time in early February, the maximum temperature has crossed 20 degrees Celsius. Which currently has a minimum temperature around 10 degrees Celsius.
Why the weather changing in Uttarakhand
Climate change in Uttarakhand is such that rain and snowfall are getting negligible. Uttarakhand has recorded 80 percent less rainfall so far. Scientists consider change in seasonal cycle and global warming behind this. According to scientists, the forests have been set on fire, cutting of trees, large construction, and more number of vehicles on the mountains have changed the seasonal cycle. Scientists believe that it is worrying to reduce the rains, which are showing a big threat to the coming times.
Climate change is affecting the weather. Due to which the summer is knocking before time. Meteorologists have explained the absence of strong western disturbances, which usually brings rain and reduces temperatures. After hot and dry season in January, most parts of India are expected to receive higher temperatures and less than normal rainfall in February.
The Meteorological Department said that except for parts of north-west and peninsular India, most areas are predicted to exceed normal temperatures in February. IMD Director General Mrityunjay Mahapatra said that the maximum temperature is likely to be higher than normal in most areas except parts of west-central and peninsular India. He said that India received an average of 4.5 mm (mm) rainfall in January, which was recorded for the fourth time since 1901 and the third time since 2001.
Crops will also affect
Reuters have published a news based on sources that India is expected to have higher temperatures in February in February. Due to this, major states growing wheat and rapeseed are likely to be 5 degrees Celsius above the average in a few days. Due to which crops can be damaged.
According to another IMD official, “In a few days of February, some states may have a maximum temperature of 5 degrees Celsius above the average. After that there may be a sharp increase in day temperature in the northern and northwest parts of the country. “
Let us know that in states like Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, Rabi crops like wheat, peas, gram and barley are cultivated in winter (October to December) and their summer (April to June) The harvesting is done. The winter rainfall mainly due to western disturbances is important for the growth of these crops. But the change in weather damages crops. The production of crops decreases due to hot and unseasonal.
