Increased cold wave days?

Huge rise in number of cold wave days despite global warming.

Despite global warming, there has been a staggering 506% increase in the number of cold waves in India, which are becoming longer and more intense according to a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER). These cold waves are caused by stagnant weather systems known as atmospheric blocking conditions.

These atmospheric blocks allow extremely cold air from northern latitudes to invade north India, exacerbating cold waves. Additionally, upper air weather systems over north India contribute to the subsidence of cold air, further intensifying cold waves and cold day conditions.

The study identified a total of 509 cold wave days, including 45 days of severe cold wave conditions from 1982 to 2020. Between 2010 and 2018, there was a shocking 506% increase in the number of cold waves in India.
