Welcome Rain

 

Welcome Rain

                        After about a month of sultry, suffocating and scorching heat above 40 D, Celsius which left people almost roasted as the heat wave stretched  about 15 more days from the normal schedule caused much inconvenience to the denizens as lakes, ponds and other water bodies dried up. People of Delhi are seen scrambling for a bucket of water and many casualties are reported due to heat stroke in Northern Indian states, people got much shy of relief by the first thunder showers like pre monsoon rain, which suddenly plummeted the temperature by 8 to 10 D, Celsius gave much respite to the denizens from the sultry heat. In the scorching heat even the cooling systems were proved inadequate and the state governments regularly issued warning of red and yellow alert in many parts of the country.

            The most extreme precipitation is given by south west rain from June to September that’s why rainy season in India called south west monsoon season. Generally the rainy season in Northern Indian states begin from mid of June and last till beginning of October.  It is said that during summer the earth warms up faster than the water bodies and monsoon winds blows from cold to warm causing rain. These days the season becomes unpredictable due to earth warming, so unprecedented heat, cold, rains, landslides in hilly areas are reported and lot of seminars are organized in some of the states regarding irregularity and unpredictable behavior of the nature and climate change but in the nutshell the results comes nothing. Rain only occurs when air rises into the upper atmosphere and cools. And the cool temprture cause water vapor to condense into water droplets which falls from clouds as rain.

            Rainy season gives much relief to people from unbearable heat but at the same time brings many health hazarding diseases like Dengue, Malaria, Cholera, Typhoid and different viral fevers, so it is a warning also. But few people plan for vacation after a break from long spell of the sultry heat, to hilly areas and to enjoy the rain people also prepare different kind of delicacies such as Pakoras, Halwa, idlies etc. The month of July and August are also notorious for floods in many part of the country. It is like routine or perennial problem. In North Bihar flood is a routine scenario and every year flood is reported in some parts of the Northern districts of Bihar creating lot of hullabaloo and inconveniences to people. And keeping the government agencies on tows.
