Seasonal and Adverse weather condition Abu

Seasonal and adverse weather 

Is Man, in his quest to advance in all disciplines and walks of life and control every element of his surroundings, consciously or unwittingly creating a Frankenstein? Frankenstein is so terrible that he is now being retaliated against internationally for severe and unpredictable weather. Everywhere one looks, one can see a marked change in the climatic conditions around the globe.

Mount Abu this year experienced its hottest and longest summer, the late monsoons and then the November Rain. The long spell of rain in November sure has thrown this Eco-sensitive Abode into a semi-state of confusion. Can you imagine mango trees flowering during the year, even the wild date palm trees have flowered? I’m on the lookout to see what else nature has in store for me.

I only hope we have a short winter and a normal one at that. Abuites are already dreading the coming winter months, especially after seeing the adverse weather in Europe this past week.

"An Unpredictable Spring Unfolds in the God's Dwelling"

Ah, springtime in the Land of the Gods! I had planned to hibernate this winter in order to wake up rejuvenated as a bat out of hell, but Mother Nature and global warming had other ideas for us. This year's winter in Abu was brief, with temperatures failing to reach the typical, bone-chilling -7 degrees Celsius. Local bears, which should have been hibernating, wandered the region, compelled to seek food in the city due to a lack of forage in the jungle.

Embracing Nature's Wonders:

I was off the radar for a spell, but I'm now back in action, documenting the beauty that nature has to offer. Birds that nest during the monsoons appear to have gone a little insane, already caring for their fledglings. The far-reaching effects of global warming might cause these phenomena. I can't help but hope that Mother Nature will favour the Abode of the Gods this year. Because if the monsoons fail, we're in for a bumpy trip. Even today, our water supply functions on an alternate-day basis, portraying a bleak picture for the future months.

Looking Towards the Future:

Looking inside my crystal ball, the forecast for the forthcoming summer is grim. The approaching summer will be hot, with frequent dust storms and forest fires. It's almost as though the desert is encroaching on this section of Rajasthan.

Conclusion:

Spring in the Land of the Gods offers unanticipated problems owing to altering natural rhythms and global warming. It serves as a reminder that, even in the face of such uncertainty, we must value and safeguard our environment. As we prepare for what lies ahead, we will continue to find peace and beauty in nature's intriguing and ever-changing dance.
