Dal Lake Freezes:
With the beginning of “Chilai Kalan”, parts of world-famous Dal lake froze on Monday as Srinagar city witnessed the coldest night of the season with the mercury plunging to 5.6 degrees Celsius below the freezing point.

A Met official said Dal lake and other water bodies in the Valley were partially frozen due to intense cold wave conditions. “The minimum temperature recorded in Srinagar on Monday was minus 5.6 degrees. The lowest ever recorded in December has been minus 12.6 degrees on Dec 13, 1964,” he said.

The lake was completely frozen twice in the last 50 years, in 1986 and 1964. The coldest temperature ever recorded in Kashmir was minus 14.4 degrees Celsius on January 31, 1893.

Latest ENSO Wrap-Up issued 22 December 2015

The latest ENSO Wrap-Up and Climate Model Summary are now available on the Bureau's website.

El Niño remains strong, but some cooling now observed at depth
El Niño remains near its peak, with the tropical Pacific Ocean and overlying atmosphere consistent with a strong event. Models suggest the event will start to decline in 2016, but a return to ENSO-neutral is not likely until at least autumn.

Sea surface temperatures and cloud patterns near the Date Line remain well in excess of El Niño thresholds. The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has returned to El Niño levels following a brief period of neutral values. Below-surface ocean temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific remain significantly warmer than average, but clearly some cooling has occurred in the past fortnight. Changes in the sub-surface are an important indicator, as the sub-surface plays a significant role in maintaining the strength and longevity of El Niño events.

El Niño's influence on Australian rainfall is variable at this time of year, with both wetter and drier summers observed in past events depending on how quickly the event breaks down. Both daytime and overnight temperatures tend to be warmer than average during an El Niño summer. For more information, see the official rainfall and temperature outlook.

The Indian Ocean Dipole has little influence on Australian climate between December and April. However, Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures remain very much warmer than average across the majority of the basin. This basin-wide warmth may provide extra moisture for rain systems across Australia.
