The Met department has been announcing the withdrawal of the North-East Monsoon season and forecasting warmer days.
Due to high level of
moisture and the reduction in cooling, the minimum temperature has risen. This
trend of increasing temperature will continue in the coming weeks. Hotter days
or summer effect may be experienced from even March or April.
The poor North-East
monsoon might cause severe water shortage during summer. Against the normal
expected rainfall of 85.72 mm, it was only 43.68 mm, the worst in the last 10
years. The situation in other districts is also the same.
