Hello Rajesh
Would this cold winter shorten the relentless summer duration and keep the temperature low during 2012 in subcontinent..

Rajesh said...

shaz:As yet, one cannot predict the duration of summer. Summer starts technically in March (sub continent), but, actually depends when the flow of W.Ds stop. We have W.D.s move into N.India in March and delay summers.
however, if W.Ds stop in Feb summer is on the way !
