Jharkhand Shivers Under Cold Wave Spell

 


 Jharkhand Shivers Under Cold Wave Spell #WinterWoes #StayWarm

Jharkhand is feeling the bite of a harsh cold wave, with Ranchi and other districts experiencing bone-chilling temperatures. While everyone would rather stay bundled up at home, many residents, especially daily wage earners, have to brave the elements to get to work.

Double Trouble: The piercing wind and intermittent rain make navigating the roads, especially on two-wheelers, a daunting task. School children are mostly staying indoors, but the real challenge falls on rickshaw pullers, cart pullers, and daily wage laborers.

The Culprit: This icy grip is a result of heavy snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir, where temperatures have plummeted to a bone-chilling -25°C and are expected to dip further. The effect ripples across the northern plains, bringing rain to states like New Delhi, Punjab, UP, and Jharkhand.

Westerly Woes: A weather phenomenon called a westerly disturbance, a non-monsoon storm originating in the Mediterranean, is responsible for this winter chill. It brings rain and snowfall to the Indian subcontinent, particularly affecting North India, Pakistan, and Nepal with sudden dips in temperature. Rajasthan is expected to be hit first, followed by other northern states.

Beyond the Shivers: Westerly disturbances have a double-edged sword effect. While they bring much-needed precipitation for Rabi crops, their intensity can also damage them. Weathermen have also issued warnings for fishermen to stay out of the Bay of Bengal until December 12th due to the disturbance.

Staying Safe in the Cold: Jharkhand, along with parts of Bihar and the Northeastern states, are under a yellow alert for inclement weather. Here are some tips to stay safe during this cold wave:

  • Stay Indoors & Hydrated: Dress warmly, stay indoors as much as possible, and keep yourself hydrated with warm drinks like herbal tea, green tea, lemon tea, and soups.
  • Prepare for Winter: Get your vehicles winter-ready, insulate pipes to prevent freezing, and identify emergency heat sources like fireplaces or properly ventilated stoves.
  • Help Others: Check in on elderly neighbors and vulnerable communities who might need extra assistance during this time.

Winter Blues? While this cold snap might have you dreaming of warmer climes, remember, there are ways to stay safe and even enjoy the winter season. Bundle up, stay warm, and take care of yourself and those around you.
