According to the Meteorological Department, a new Western Disturbance is likely to affect the Western Himalayan region from December 19. Its effect will start appearing in MP in the next two-three days. Another Western Disturbance is coming right behind it. This will further increase the effect of cold. Jet Stream Speed 185 km/h
Currently, the jet stream is also active. The jet stream is affecting the plains of North India. On Wednesday, it was flowing at a speed of 185 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 12.6 kilometers from the ground. In recent days, its speed had reached up to 222 km/h. What is a Jet Stream?
According to weather experts, a major reason for the increasing cold in the state is also the jet stream. It is a fast wind blowing at an altitude of approximately 12 km from the ground. This time, its speed has reached up to 222 km per hour. It is active in the northern part of the country. Besides the icy winds coming from the mountains, these high-altitude winds are increasing the cold. When cold winds from the northern plains and icy winds from the mountainous regions reach us, intense cold sets in. All this happens due to the Western Disturbances, a weather system reaching North India. In such a situation, if a jet stream also forms, the cold doubles. This is what is happening this time. Winter has broken records in November
This time, winter has broken records in November. A cold wave lasted for 15 consecutive days in Bhopal. According to records, these are the most days of cold wave since 1931. On the other hand, on the night of November 17, the mercury reached 5.2 degrees, which was also an overall record. Before this, on November 30, 1941, the temperature was 6.1 degrees. In Indore too, the mercury remained at 6.4 degrees. Here too, it was the coldest night of the season. For the first time in 25 years, the mercury dropped so low. December-January special for cold weather
According to the Meteorological Department, just as July-August are important among the four monsoon months (June, July, August, and September) and receive 60 percent or more rainfall, similarly, December and January experience severe cold. During these two months, cold winds from North India come more frequently to the state. Therefore, there is a significant drop in temperature. Cold winds also blow. Data from the last 10 years show this trend. With the activation of Western Disturbances, light winter rain (Mavtha) also occurs in December. This increases the effect of cold even during the day. Looking at the weather trend, strong Western Disturbances occur in December. Also, with the arrival of northerly winds, there is a drop in day and night temperatures. The same is expected this time. These districts will experience the most cold Cold Wave May Last 20-22 Days
According to weather experts, many cities in the state will experience a cold wave (sard hawaen) in December. It may last for 20 to 22 days in January.
