On the other hand, rainy days have  declined. Now there are fierce downpours and sunny interludes. Fierce rains are  defined as rains which give 20 cms of rain in one hour. Such fierce rains have  increased and sunny days have also increased. This Climate Change is caused by  Global Warming. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><\/span> <\/div>\n<div><span>In 2008, in Kuttanad, such rains created havoc,  destroying crops. Such rains continued this year, during both the Monsoons, the  North East and the South West. Depressions caused these rains. The snowfall in  Idukki caused destruction in cardamom crops. Climatologist view these happenings  as unnatural phenomena. During some years, the intensity of the South West  Monsoon  becomes less. Not only Kerala, but Jharkhand, Chattisghand are also  adversely affected. <\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><\/span> <\/div>\n<div><span>It is said the dogs need not check the Astro  Calender to know which is the sidereal month of Virgo or Kanya. It is also proof  that time for procreation and Climate are interlinked. Kanya or the sidereal  month of Virgo is the interlude between the two major monsoons and is devoid of  rains. Less daylight and more the duration of night characterise this sidereal  month. This is the month dogs find it easy to mate. This month stimulates the  procreational urge in dogs and they instinctively that this is the month for  mating. The cause is attributed to the Bio Clock mechanism in dogs. Female dogs  give birth only after 60\/70 days. By that time the Kala Varsha or the Sourth  West Monsoon will be over. The young ones will get the right atmosphere for  growing. That is why Nature gave dogs such a benign month. <\/span><\/div>\n<p><span> <\/p>\n<div>This year the Kala Varsha continued during the month of Kanya with the  result the procreational cycle of dogs is adversely affected. The dogs ran here  and thereby their mating declined ! The physiological processes of dogs is  affected by Climate Change. Now dogs that are born have less weight and this  phenomenon has been observed in Alsation dogs particularly. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>The intensity of the rains have increased with the result fierce rains  wreaked havoc on Agriculture. The rainwater does not seep through the earth and  hence there are less wells and water reservoirs. Floods have increased  considerably. <\/div>\n<div>Another phenomenon is the retreat of the monsoons. In July\/ August of  2002, less rains caused draught. It used to be 21% rainfall during June, 33% in  July, 28% in August and 18% in Sep. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>Now Climate Change has changed all that. More sunny interludes have been  reported in July. This phenomenon has increased by 30% due to the the wind waves  of the South West Monsoon going to the bottom of the Himalayas.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>For the last 15 years, oreographic precipiation or rains in the hilly  areas, have declined by 20%. Lesser and lesser amount of rains are reported  every year.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>Deforestation is the cause for less rains in Peerumedu and Nerumangalam.  The mountains do block the cold wind waves coming from the Indian Ocean and  cause precipitation.<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>In short, Global Warming&#8217;s repercussions on Climate can be drastic. We hope  furthur negative reports do not come from the Climatologists !<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climatologists are of the opinion that the quantity of rains have not come down in Kerala.
