In some states of India, this time there may be severe cold. In January and February, the temperature in some northern parts of the country can go down to 3 degree Celsius. La Nina is being blamed for this weather condition. La Nina is rapidly emerging in the Pacific. This usually means that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere remain below normal. The situation has prompted regional weather agencies to issue warnings about severe winters.
According to a Bloomberg report, many countries, especially China, are struggling with high fuel prices and electricity crisis. Coal and gas prices are already at an all-time high. In such a situation, the demand for these things will increase due to severe cold. Renée Vandewege, vice president of weather activities at data provider DTN, said: “We are expecting below-normal winter temperatures across Northeast Asia this winter.
According to NDTV, the temperature in some northern areas in India is likely to go up to 3 degree Celsius in January-February. Unlike in other countries, colder climates here typically show lower energy consumption as air conditioning becomes in demand.
Major coal mining areas have faced flooding in recent months, leading to a decline in the supply of the fuel (coal) that is used to produce 70 percent of the country’s electricity. According to Todd Crawford, director of meteorology at Atmospheric G2, there are factors other than La Nia events that can affect the winter weather in Northeast Asia.
