SUMMER SEASON IN 2024:
ONCE the population of this earth was not as dense and crowded as it is nowadays and the more than half of the land are was covered with tress and the cycle of season was definite and easily predictable. But now when we are in a modern and most advanced age, when the cities have gulp down the nature and have made everything changed this is very difficult to say something or to predict about the seasons. Most of the questions as, how long will summer stay with us this year?" Are in everyone’s mouth and everyone wants to know about. Because it is the season when we expect to enjoy the pleasant temperatures, endless outdoor activities and we travel to far off hilly areas with our friends and families. But now the changing in climate patterns has made it very difficult for us to predict the sphere of any season though summer, autumn, spring or winter. Let’s discuss in detail the expectation from this summer 2024 and try to predict that how long will this summer stay with us.
HISTORICAL TRENDS AND CLIMATE PATTERNS:
To understand the potential duration of summer in 2024, it will be helpful for us to look at historical trends and recent climate changes due to many reasons . Over the past few decades, summers have been getting longer and hotter in many parts of the world. This is largely due to global climate change, which has caused average temperatures to rise and changed weather patterns. This is because of the cutting of trees for industrial and residential purposes as the population of this universe is rapidly growing day by day and the use of natural resources is being increased. According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the last two decades the length of summer season has increased by two weeks as compared to the mid-20th century. This helps to know that summers are starting earlier now and ending later than in the past.
PREDICTIONS FOR SUMMER 2024:
Many things are considered by meteorologists and climate scientists as historical observations, climate models and the changes in current weather patterns. The length of summer in 2024 will depend on various factors as follows;
1:- GLOBAL CLIMATE TRENDS:
It is expected that
the present trend of global warming will continue, potentially resulting in a
longer and hotter summer. Compared to earlier times, it would be more difficult
for the people living in third world countries where the issue of load shedding
is increased especially in summer season.
2:- EL NIÑO AND LA NIÑA:
These climate phenomena significantly have an impact on
global weather patterns. An El Niño event, which involves the warming of the
central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, can lead to warmer temperatures and
can change precipitation patterns. Now the scientists are monitoring the signs of
these two events to predict the influence on the summer season in this year
2024.
3:- REGIONAL VARIATIONS:
Different regions will experience varying impacts on them.
For instance, the areas where the summer season is already very hot might see an extended season this year, while
regions with typically mild summers might notice less dramatic changes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
REGIONALLY:
1:-North America:
In the United States
and Canada, the summer season is expected to be longer than average. In particular
the south-western states may have an experience of a prolonged heat waves. Whereas
the coastal areas could see higher humidity and warmer nights.
2:- EUROPE:
It is expected that Europe
will experience an extended summer with more frequent heatwaves, especially in
Southern and Central Europe. The Mediterranean region may see drought
conditions due to prolonged periods of high temperatures.
3:- ASIA:
Countries like India and Pakistan, which already endure
intense summer heat, may face an even longer summer season. The production of electricity
and the consumption is always dis balance in Pakistan and the electricity department
is compelled to start load shedding. The people living in hot places survive very
hardly. There is no any alternative of electricity as solar system etc. People come
out on the roads and protest against the heavy bills and load shedding. On the other
hand East Asian countries, including
China and Japan, might experience warmer temperatures extending into late
autumn but these countries will able to maintain the electricity facilities to their
citizens.
4:- AUSTRALIA:
In the Southern
Hemisphere, Australia's summer spans from December to February. However, the
effects of climate change may cause warmer temperatures to persist in March and
April that will affect the agriculture and water resources.
PREPARING FOR AN EXTENDED SUMMER:
As it is expected that the summer in 2024 will stay a little bit late and it is very important to have a preparation to meet the challenges which are as follows:
1:- HEAT PREPAREDNESS:
The heatwaves are becoming a deadly poison for the people living
in hot areas. People are not hard working as they were in the past so their passive
life style has decreased their immunity to bear the intensity of weather. Their
nutritional diets are now not pure and healthy and we learn daily about the deaths
caused by heatwaves. Under these circumstances the communities should be ready for more frequent and intense
heatwaves. This includes ensuring that cooling centers are available, public
health campaigns on heat safety are in place, and vulnerable populations are
protected.
2:- WATER MANAGEMENT
It is being observed that in this summer the underground
water resources have dried up. This is because there were no rains enough to fulfill
the need of water even in whole winter season.
Longer summers can
strain water resources, particularly in drought-prone regions. Efficient water
management and conservation practices will be crucial otherwise people will face
the shortage of pure drinking water. There are many parts of the world where people
don’t have the pure drinking water and they are compelled to drink from the ponds
where animals drink.
3:- AGRICULTURAL ADJUSTMENTS:
There is a need to constitute the best policies for farmers and
motivate them for growing more trees and take care of the existing ones. Farmers
may need to adjust planting schedules and crop selections to adapt to changing
weather patterns.
CONCLUSION:
While it's challenging to predict the exact length of the summer season in 2024, present trends, climate models and the study of last few years suggest it could be longer and hotter than in previous years. By understanding these patterns and preparing accordingly, we can avoid some of the adverse effects of heatwaves of this summer and can enjoy the tours of far flange hill stations to spend the vacations. Stay informed and stay safe as you navigate the summer season in 2024.
