rising global temperatures

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) recently released its monthly climate bulletin, revealing unprecedented global temperature highs in November 2023.

India is a major producer of wheat, ranking second in the world. Since 2000, there has been a 17% increase in the area of land used for wheat cultivation, resulting in a 40% increase in wheat production.

The 'heat pandemic' is not just limited to India. As global warming progresses, regions with hot climates around the world face increased vulnerability to overheating in homes due to poorly designed structures.

The new record exceeds the previous highest temperature of 50.3°C, which state-run Xinjiang Daily reported in 2015 near Ayding, also in the Turpan Depression.

According to scientists at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, Both North and South America experienced their warmest Mays on record, while Africa, Asia, and Europe had one of their 20 warmest Mays.

Following the recent announcement of the onset of El Niño and record sea surface temperatures last month, the first eleven days of this month saw the highest temperatures ever recorded for this time of year.

A recent study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment suggests that global warming may become a major driver of forest loss in the Hindu-Kush Himalayas (HKH) during the 21st century.

A recent analysis by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), April 2023 was the fourth warmest April globally. The month was 0.32 degrees Celsius hotter than the 1991-2020 average, and temperatures across Europe showed a significant contrast.

The temperature readings during the beginning of this winter season were mild, with no significant instances of winter rains and snowfall in November and December last year.

About two weeks into the month of December one of the coldest months of the year, there should have been at least some moderate snow on the Himalayan peaks, but hardly any snow at all due to the absence of a strong Western Disturbance.
