Written by news2in

PANAJI: Inter-government panels regarding climate change (IPCC) suggesting red code warnings at fast intensification of extreme weather events.
In Goa, the chain of unusual events made scientists stating that the impact of climate change was not only close, they really blew on our faces.
From an episode of rainfall anomaly as soon as the new year and the Hailstorms in the winter, until excessive pre-monsoon rainfall and flood-fueled troops in July, the BAFLLING Weather series for seven important months seems to confirm the IPCC warning.
“Most of us think that climate change will affect Indian and Goa continental children in particular gradually.
But we see the signals strengthen us as early as now,” said the Meteorologist Ramesh Kumar.
Fast succession of extreme weather events is seen as a deteriorating indication of the climate crisis.
‘The worrying frequency of the cyclone’ “every year brings disasters in various forms.
In recent years, flooding occurred in various parts of the country.
Disasters such as cyclones, droughts and landslides have occurred more often in Goa and elsewhere,” Kumar showed .
In 2021 itself began on an unpleasant note as the Department of Indian Meteorology (IMD), Panaji, recorded heavy rainfall than usual in January.
Rain anomalies make it one of January in years.
But it ended as a wet and warm January because this month also has a higher early morning temperature than in the last 30 years.
The average monthly minimum temperature recorded is 22.6C, compared with 21.5C in January 2010 and 21.5C in January 1996.
“Compared to previous years, winter began with the dominant east wind, which increased the minimum temperature and rainfall anomaly, “Rahul M,” Rahul M, “Rahul M,” Rahul M, “Rahul M,” Rahul M, “Scientist at the IMD, Panaji, said.
Winter was also gained in Goa Dense in February as well.
Unprecedented events in winter – hail, storm and vertical cloud formation – during a wet spell of five days from February 19, Scientists were surprised.
“Usually, the winter months are the most dried and free Clouds, especially on Goa.
Hailstones, very unusual events, shapes when clouds developed vertically up to 10 km high above sea level, “Kumar, said former NIO scientist’s head, said the rain lasted during the summer because Tauktae’s typhoon crashed into mid-May.” Although the cyclone above the Arab Sea during the pre-monsoon season is unusual, Tauktae is one of the closest to Goa Beach, causing great destruction, “said IMD scientist.
What speculated as the summer driven by the heat wave turned out to be wet.” Goa Receiving the third highest rainfall in 70 years and also see a very dangerous trend, “Kumar said.
In July, the rainfall of the 14-day bumper created more chaos as one of the worst floods in 40 years of sank Goa.” The state records flat rainfall.
-Rata of 1,047.3mm against normal 471mm due to increased rainfall activity during this period, “Rahul said.
Increased frequency s The iklon in the Arabian sea is another trend worried.
In 2019, the cyclone year, eight of them – five in the Arab Sea – tore the continental child, creating more impact than before.
The cyclone chain continued the following year as five of them – Gati and Nivar became a very severe cyclone – formed in rapid succession.
“Frequency and fast intensification of several cyclones can be associated with the heating of the Indian Ocean.
This is a worrying trend and indication of future events,” Kumar warned.
