Mahabaleshwar, the charming hill station in Maharashtra, known for its cute strawberry farms, homely food, bustling market area and calm lakes has everyone’s heart entwined. This winter, the hill station has recorded its lowest temperature ever at 0°C. Even in Mumbai, the temperature dropped below the normal levels to 13.2°C. For some days, Delhi was colder than usual with the mercury falling to around 5°C. Several parts of Kashmir are receiving massive snowfall with temperatures as low as -11.6°C. Experts are saying that this dip in temperature noticed in India is due to a global phenomenon called La Nina. La Nina alters oceanic temperatures causing severe weather conditions.
La Niña continues as we head into winter, and forecasters are confident that it will hang around through the rest of the winter. After that, La Niña will likely transition to ENSO-neutral sometime in the spring. Find out more at the ENSO blog.
