Chicago winter could be coldest, snowiest in years thanks to weather phenomenon called "The Blob"....On World Weather News Page

Friday, October 17, 2025

North East Monsoon circulation and associated rainfall sets in over southern peninsular India:





 The large scale atmospheric circulation over the Asian Monsoon domain underwent a seasonal shift during the past two to three weeks and has now gradually settled towards a boreal autumn-winter time type circulation pattern. This shift includes a major change in the structure of the atmospheric column from a Baroclinic atmosphere that prevailed during the boreal summer monsoon season to a Barotropic/Equivalent Barotropic atmosphere which is currently observed. To easily understand and perceive this, one can see the recent changes that have taken place in the prevailing low level wind pattern which was predominantly south westerlies for the past 4 months has now shifted to north easterlies over the north Indian Ocean (The Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal) and the adjoining South China Sea. Also, one can note the associated sign reversal in the pole to equatorward temperature gradient over the south Asian region which is in association with the southward migrating quasi-stationary atmospheric heat source during this time of the year. All these changes have led to the withdrawal of the wet summer monsoon rainy season from over a larger part of India and a simultaneous start of the north east monsoon rainfall season over the south east peninsular India. Along with these seasonal shifts that is taking place in the background, the region of anomalous enhanced tropical convection, especially the low frequency component continues to be dominated by a La Nina/ Negative IOD signal over the Maritime Continent and the Eastern equatorial Indian Ocean which is prevailing as a source region for several eastward (Kelvin wave) and westward (Equatorial Rossby waves) propagating moist equatorial waves. Currently, an ER wave is seen propagating westwards over the central equatorial Indian Ocean, whose northern part is causing widespread rainfall in the southern states of India including Tamil Nadu. Global Numerical Weather Prediction Models on the medium range period, indicate that more such ER waves could form and propagate along the equatorial Indian ocean in the days to come as an MJO signal is about to constructively interfere with the low frequency signal. This could eventually lead to an uptick in the genesis of synoptic scale low pressure systems as well over the oceanic regions.

Harold] Pierce says:

There is no such phenomena as anthropogenic climate change because most of the earth is water, rocks, sand, ice and snow. Activities of humans are not going to effect the climate of the vast Pacific ocean, the Andes mountains or the Sahara desert. However, activities of humans in urban areas can effect local climate due to the UHI effect. In some countries, humans can cause local desertification by stripping the land of plants for firewood and for food for animals.

One extreme weather event are Atlantic hurricanes
, the frequency of which has greatly declined since 1900. So far this hurricane season has been a bust.

10th October Post
Please Read ENSO Scenario on Current Weather Page

A lot is being "heard" about La Nina event possibly occurring this winter...and North India should be prepared for an extreme winter !

On Current Weather Page ...Please read  the explanation and current scenario of La Nina.
Indicates possibility of the event only after December 2025.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Is North India Heading for an Extreme Winter?

A lot is being “heard” about a possible La Niña event developing this winter — with suggestions that it could bring a harsh season for North India.

However, the La Niña indicators currently point to it's start only after December 2025, meaning the most pronounced impact may be felt in January–February 2026.

❄️ Overall Outlook

The North Subcontinent is expected to witness a higher frequency of Western Disturbances, bringing more rain and snow to the northern hills and plains.

This will translate to colder-than-normal conditions, especially in January 2026, which could see multiple cold day and cold wave events.

“Possible La Niña After December — Signs Point to a Colder, Snowier Winter Across North India”

🏔️ North India

Frequent Western Disturbances likely.

Heavy snowfall expected in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.

Day temperatures in the plains (Punjab, Delhi, Haryana, West U.P., Rajasthan) may hover between 10°C and 15°C.

Night temperatures near freezing in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.

Sub-zero readings likely in Churu, Shekhawati, Alwar, and Mount Abu.

Maharashtra

Cold wave conditions will set in late December and continue through January.

Nashik and Pune: Lows below 7°C during cold waves ( January).

Ahilyanagar and Sambhajinagar: Around 8–9°C on coldest nights (January).

Mumbai:

December to remain near-normal with 16–20°C lows.

January may turn notably cooler, dipping to 12–15°C during cold spells.

Gujarat

Cold wave likely from late December through January.

Kutch region: Lows near freezing possible.

Saurashtra and Gujarat region: Minimums of 7–10°C on cold wave nights.
