As we approach the month of June, it is important to be aware of the potential water problems that may arise due to the predicted La Niña weather phenomenon. La Niña is characterized by cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, which can have significant impacts on global weather patterns.
According to weather experts, La Niña is expected to arrive in the next four months, leading to a prolonged dry spell in certain areas. This means that we may have to endure water scarcity and related challenges during this period. It is crucial for individuals, communities, and authorities to take proactive measures to mitigate the impact of this water crisis.
However, there is some good news on the horizon. Weather forecasts indicate that after July, the monsoon season is likely to bring relief to the affected regions. The monsoon rains are expected to replenish the reservoirs and alleviate the water scarcity situation in South India.
Currently, the water levels in reservoirs across South India are below the decadal average, which further emphasizes the need for preparedness. It is essential for everyone to conserve water, avoid wastage, and adopt sustainable practices to ensure that the available resources are utilized efficiently.
