Heavy Winter Alert: India will experience severe cold this year due to La Niña! Know the weather conditions
La Niña: La Niña is a cold climate phenomenon. It is also known as the “cold phase” of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. According to the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
La Niña: The monsoon season is coming to an end, and winter will soon arrive in India. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) recently announced that the monsoon will withdraw from some parts of the country by September 15th. This raises the question: will this year’s winter be colder? It’s believed that this year’s weather will be influenced by a climate phenomenon called La Niña, which could lead to bone-chilling cold. Let’s explain what it is and its potential effects.
What is La Niña?
La Niña is a cold climate phenomenon. It is also known as the “cold phase” of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. According to the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, while El Niño, in contrast, causes unusually warm ocean temperatures in the same region. The term was originally associated with Christmas, as it often coincides with this winter festival.
What will be the impact on India’s winter?
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a statement in early September that La Niña could return to influence weather and climate patterns from this month. However, the organization also noted that despite the temporary cooling effect of this phenomenon, global temperatures are expected to remain above average in most countries. For India, La Niña is likely to cause colder winters, especially in northern India. The IMD has stated that this weather pattern, which cools the Pacific Ocean, is associated with more frost and severe cold waves in northern India.
