Hottest decemberThe year 2015 was hot and happening; well literally! According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), last year’s December month was the hottest December ever in last 115 years. The similar condition had last occurred in the year 1901, when the temperature hadn’t dropped significantly, even the peak winter month of December. December 2015 was termed as the ‘hottest December’ despite the fact that most of parts in India had experienced cold wave, as usual.

Hottest December ever? Is it good or bad?

Its bad news for sure. Last year, India experienced soaring temperatures even in winters. Most of the parts in India did not experience the usual winter cold at all. The last hottest December was experienced 115 years back. According to IMD’s survey, the mean temperature in December 2015 was above normal by 1.2 degrees Celsius. This is the highest ever recorded rise for this month, making it hottest December.

This means, after 1901, India has experienced hottest Decembers consistently in the last decade. Besides, last year has seen elevated temperature for most of the months. This includes September mean temperature which had risen by 1 degree; while that of October had risen by 1.22 degrees. According to D Sivananda Pai, head of National Climate Center, IMD, hot Decembers are the result of El Nino and a clear sign of global warming.

He mentioned that, “The jet stream, which is located over the central and northern parts of the country, explains the less snowfall in December. Even the number of fog spells was less in December as the jet stream has made the atmosphere unstable,

 

These numbers are certainly alarming, as these are a warning sign of global warming. If nothing is done for the global warming, seasons will keep on getting affected by it and it will adversely affect the mankind in turn.
