28th December 2022...
Global cold wave updates: Snowstorms in US, Canada, extreme cold waves in India, sinking temperatures in UK, Europe brings world to a standstill....
Howling winds, heavy snow and frigid air which can turn boiling water into ice instantly have hit most of the nations like the USA, India, Japan and parts of Europe, including parts of the world which are normally temperate. But why the world is freezing? It is due to a phenomenon called La Nina, which is almost the opposite of the warming phenomenon of the El Nino effect.
What is La Nina?
La Nina is an oceanic phenomenon that influences the atmosphere around us by opposing El Nino. When warm winds blow, the surface of a body of water warms. The El Nino effect causes trade winds to blow east, pushing warm water off the surface of the Pacific Ocean towards America's west coast. As a result of heat evaporating into the atmosphere, temperatures rise in regions near the equator. Cooler water from the depths naturally begins to rise.

Next 3/4 days Northern plains & Maharashtra ...
No precipitation, so stable colder/colder in North India. Churu, in Rajasthan saw 1.3 °c today. So, 1° to 5°c temperatures expected in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana next 3 nights.

New low BB-19 forms over southeast Bay of Bengal, heading west...can bring rains to Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. Heavier rains could be around Sri Lanka and southern Tamil Nadu.

Haze....
Mumbai sees this often in Winters...No Panic
But with some rain expected on Monday, Mumbai will get some cleaner air
Temperature inversion and lack of strong breeze from surface till 700 hPa (around 3 km) results in hazy conditions...which is being observed across different places in the country. It is usually a combination of particulate matter and moisture in the air.
In cities, the urban pollutants also get trapped, resulting in yellowish/brownish haze.
It's not just Mumbai...
