Weather Update News: Spring season is gradually disappearing from India, Japan, America and Europe. The incredible change in weather is happening is that the month of February is indicating the beginning of summer. Especially in North India, summer starts in February itself.
This seasonal change has become a matter of deep concern for the entire world.
Scientists at the renowned US climate science and climate central institute and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), managed by the European Commission, have conducted extensive research studies on climate change, greenhouse gas effects, marine ecosystems, etc. for five consecutive decades. information is received through
Andrew Pershing, vice president of climate science and international meteorologist at Climate Central, says, 'This report has been prepared on the basis of in-depth research and study of data of increasing heat and other factors in Japan, America, Europe including India. , over the course of five decades from 1970 to 2023.
A report released in March by the European Commission-run Copernicus Climate Service (C3S) found February 2024 to be the hottest month of the past 100 years, 1.77 degrees Celsius above the average global temperature for the period 1850 to 1900. Industrial Revolution February temperatures will be as high as 1.5 degrees Celsius, the average global temperature limit accepted in the Paris Agreement. However, in February 2023, heat more than this limit has been recorded.
*Cold days are continuously decreasing in winter in India:
Both these climate reports also mention that our five-decade exploratory study has shown that the number of cold days in winter is continuously decreasing in India. While the amount of heat is continuously increasing, for example, Manipur has recorded an increase of 2.5 degrees in the average temperature, which is the highest. The average temperature in Delhi was recorded at 0.23 degrees Celsius, which is the lowest. Apart from this, the states of North India and Central India start feeling the heat as January ends and February begins.
An increase of 2.6 degrees Celsius has been recorded in the average maximum temperature in Rajasthan in February. The average maximum temperature has also increased by 2.0 degrees in Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir.
Not a single day of cold wave (cold wave) has been announced by the Meteorological Department in the entire Maharashtra in the winter of 2023. This change means that the winter of 2023 in Maharashtra is also likely to be much less severe, in other words, warmer, than the previous winter.
South India also experiences summer during the period from December to February, which means that February has seen natural changes in India as if it is the beginning of summer.
Nevertheless, expert meteorologists around the world, including India, express deep concern that many people across the world, including India, are still dependent on coal, fuel wood, cow dung, natural gas, oil, etc. Let's use. Meteorologists use fossil fuels widely in their daily lives. The use of all these increases the amount of heat in the atmosphere throughout the year.
*Methane emitted from fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles heat the earth's atmosphere:
This is true, Dr. Anupam Kashyapi, Additional Director General of India Meteorological Department and Advisor to the Government of India (Retd.-Pune Centre), tells Gujarat News based on his extensive research and studies. Extensive research has shown that 120 metric tons of methane gas was released into the atmosphere in 2023 due to burning of fossil fuels i.e. wood, cow dung, natural gas, etc.
Methane gas is considered the main source of greenhouse effect in the Earth's atmosphere. For example, the spread of methane gas has increased global temperatures by 30 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the early 20th century. Apart from this, factors like kerosene, diesel, CNG, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide gases emitted from vehicles, rapidly growing industries, decreasing amount of soil are also responsible for this worrying change.
* Spring too early in US, Japan, Europe (cherry blossom season): Both of these reports also mention that spring has started 1.2 days earlier in Japan since 1953. Cherry blossoms bloom in Japan in spring, from March to April. From 1961 to 1990, beautiful white and pink flowers began to bloom on cherry trees in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other cities of Japan on March 29. However, in the period from 1991 to 2020, the natural process of flowering on cherry trees has started on March 24.
Since 1921, the cherry blossom season has started a week earlier than the traditional time in other cities, including Washington, DC.
While in Northern and Central Europe, the spring season is starting earlier than in 2018. Cherry trees and other trees are blooming with beautiful colorful flowers. However, in many areas of Europe soil moisture decreases during spring.
