Anomalies in weather pattern during the last decade in the Himalayan region have now become a point of discussion among scientists and academicians. Uttarakhand Meteorological Centre director Anand Sharma opined that change in weather reported in the last few years is a normal phenomenon. The DAV (PG) College head of …
Australia remains on El Nino watch on expectations the weather pattern that brings drought to the Asia-Pacific region and heavier-than-usual rains to South America will probably develop by August. The alert indicates at least a 70 percent chance of an El Nino developing this year, the Bureau of Meteorology said …
In Trashigang, water sources are drying, rainfall is scanty if there is any, and forest fire is rampant. The people of the dzongkhag say that these are the signs of climate change now beginning to seriously to make manifest. With all these come the worry, deep-seated fear in the hearts …
Australia issued an El Nino alert on expectations the weather-altering pattern will probably develop as early as July, potentially bringing drought across the Asia-Pacific region and heavier-than-usual rains to South America. The tropical Pacific Ocean has warmed steadily in recent months, the Bureau of Meteorology said on its website today, …
Since 1980, the South Asian monsoon has been experiencing dangerous increase in extreme wet and dry spells which would have a significantly adverse impact on the region, especially crop yields, a study by climate scientists from Stanford University has found. The findings have been reported by Stanford scientists in the …
Oxford University research shows rising temperatures mean intense rainfall now one in 80 year event rather than one in 100 year Climate change caused by humans has made the likelihood of extreme rainfall similar to that seen in England this winter significantly higher, according to analysis seen by the Guardian. …
Plants with the ability to regulate the timing of germination in response to environmental cues are more likely to spin off new species and are better at dealing with weather threats from climate change. Plants whose seeds put off sprouting until conditions are more certain give rise to more species, …
Air pollution in China and other Asian countries is having far-reaching impacts on weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere, a study suggests. Researchers have found that pollutants are strengthening storms above the Pacific Ocean, which feeds into weather systems in other parts of the world. The effect was most pronounced …
Computer modelling showed intensification of US-bound Pacific storms, driven by fine aerosols from coal power plants and traffic China's air pollution could be intensifying storms over the Pacific Ocean and altering weather patterns in North America, according to scientists in the US. A team from Texas, California and Washington state …
Air pollution in China and other Asian countries is generating sweeping impact on weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere, it has been revealed. Researchers have found that the pollutants are strengthening storms above the Pacific Ocean, which feeds into weather systems in other parts of the world, the BBC News …
The forecast of inclement weather for the next couple of days is sending shivers down the spine of farmers who are in the process of harvesting their wheat crop. Partly cloudy weather with light rain or thundershowers is expected in the western zone of Haryana due to western disturbances. This …
In what could be bad news for Indian agriculture, conditions in the Pacific Ocean seem to be increasingly favouring the onset of an El Nino this summer. In its latest update on Tuesday, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said there was now a more than 70% chance that the unusual …
Warming temperatures, scientists say, can tip places into drought conditions by increasing evaporation and sapping soil of its moisture. A new study suggests up to a third of the Earth's land area could be subject to drier conditions because of warmer temperatures, not just changing precipitation patterns, by the end …
As development and climate change continue, losses from extreme floods throughout the world skyrocket. Researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), in Austria have projected that the losses in Europe could more than double by 2050. In the new study which is published in the journal Nature …
Last year was the sixth-hottest since 1850, with temperatures indicating long-term warming of the planet, the World Meteorological Agency said. Thirteen of the 14 hottest years since the instrumental record began have occurred this century, including 2010 and 2005, the two warmest, the WMO, a United Nations agency, said in …
Number of heat-related deaths projected to increase in UK as temperature rise, with elderly people most at risk Deaths as a result of hot weather are to soar over the next four decades as a result of climate change, researchers have predicted. The number of annual deaths in the UK …
Unchecked deforestation will have far-reaching impacts on temperature, rainfall, and monsoon cycles in regions well outside the tropics, affecting agriculture and water availability, warns a new report published by Greenpeace International. The report, titled "An Impending Storm: Impacts of deforestation on weather patterns and agriculture", is a synthesis of dozens …
The high cliffs of Eastern Siberia, have been eroding at a relatively fast pace which researchers are attributing to rising summer temperatures in the Russian permafrost regions as well as the retreat of the Arctic sea ice. In an effort to understand permafrost erosion, researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute, …
Scientists say they are more certain than ever about the impact of global warming on a critical weather pattern. The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs in the Pacific Ocean but plays an important part in the world's climate system. Researchers have until now been unsure as to how rising temperatures …
