Isn't any cold wave expected in NW India post the effects of an active WD in the hills(and plains as well),with the latter being possible at all in the first place?

Latest ENSO Wrap-Up issued 20 December 2016

The latest ENSO Wrap-Up, ENSO Outlook and Climate Model Summary are now available on the Bureau's website.
 
El Niño–Southern Oscillation likely to remain neutral through summer
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific Ocean remains neutral. Most climate models indicate neutral conditions are likely to persist through the coming months, though one model suggests La Niña thresholds may briefly be exceeded. When ENSO is neutral, weather patterns over the Pacific region are near normal, so there is less of a tendency for Australia’s climate to be very much wetter or drier than normal.

Although the central tropical Pacific Ocean has cooled slightly in the past fortnight, ocean temperatures remain well within the neutral range. Most models indicate the central Pacific Ocean will slowly warm in the coming months. The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) remains at neutral values and trade winds are at normal strength for this time of year. Only cloudiness near the Date Line continues to show some La Niña-like characteristics.

The Indian Ocean Dipole has little influence on Australian climate during the months of December to April.

Sir,

Why are not WD's hitting our region this winter thus far?It is getting abnormally dry here particularly in december and january.

Very weak NEM seems to have come to an end. Entire South India faces massive drought (deficits are huge). 2017 Summer is fast approaching - places like Anatapur,Rayalseema temperatures reach 40s by start of feb itself. Just wondering how will be 2017 pre-monsoons for south India? Will it be same as 2016 (failure) or need to wait for EL-NINO conditions?

Other side bumper excess SWM for Maharashtra -> fruits are appearing much before - mangoes have already arrived. Trees are full of mango blossoms. Maharashtra government is all set for 15 crore tree plantations for 2017 year!

Lol sset mangoes haven't arrived yet Atleast in Mumbai.

Cumulus arjun said...

London: In what may be a record-breaking heatwave, temperatures at the North Pole may rise up to 20 degrees higher than average this Christmas Eve, scientists have warned.

These unseasonably warm weather patterns in the Arctic region are directly linked to man-made climate change, they said.

Temperatures throughout November and December this year were five degree Celsius higher than average. It follows a summer during which Arctic sea ice reached the second-lowest extent ever recorded by satellites.

"In pre-industrial times, a heatwave like this would have been extremely rare - we would expect it to occur about every 1,000 years," said Friederike Otto, a senior researcher at Oxford University told 'BBC News'.

Temperatures will peak on Christmas Eve around the North Pole - at near-freezing. The warm air from the North Atlantic is likely flow all the way to the North Pole via Spitsbergen, giving rise to clouds that prevent heat from escaping.

Forecasting models show that there is about a 2 per cent chance of a heatwave event occurring every year. "But if temperatures continue to increase further as they are now, we would expect a heatwave like this to occur every year and that will be a huge stress on the ecosystem," said Otto.

The freeze and thaw conditions are already making it difficult for reindeer to find food - as the moss they feed on is covered by hard ice, rather than soft, penetrable snow.
