Hyderabad: The residents of Hyderabad who were witnessing the chilly winter season for the past few weeks are likely to see harsh summer in the coming months as El Nino event may make 2023 hotter.
The last three years were La Nino years whereas, the upcoming year is likely to be El Nino which not only makes summer harsher but also results in monsoon failure.
What are El Nino and La Nino?
El Nino and La Nino are two climate patterns. While El Nino is known for the abnormal warming of surface water in the eastern tropical pacific ocean whereas, La Nino results in the unusual cooling of the tropical eastern pacific.
Due to this unusual warming and cooling of surface water, the monsoon in India is adversely affected. In intense La Nino, flood poses risk to crops whereas, in El Nino, the agriculture sector faces drought conditions.
Their impact on seasons in Hyderabad
The duration of the La Nino event is between one to three years whereas, El Nino continues for less than a year.
For the past three years, Hyderabad along with other parts of the country was seeing chilly winter season and good monsoon due to La Nino, however, El Nino which is likely to be witnessed in the upcoming months may make summer hotter.
Hyderabad may see harsh summer after chilly winter
During the past few weeks, Hyderabad saw chilly winter season. The minimum temperate dropped to 6.5 degrees Celsius last week.
However, in the next few months, the city is likely to see rise in temperature. Even the monsoon season in the city is likely to be impacted due to the El Nino event.
In 2015, the El Nino event has significantly increased the temperature in the city during the summer. It has also affected rainfall and crop output in India.
