Upcoming destructive solar storm to cause damages worth 40 billion dollars
In a recent study published by Space Weather stated that the upcoming solar storm sometime in next decade would have an unfathomable destruction on human lives. Researchers working at the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies at the University of Cambridge have estimated that a severe solar storm can cause damages worth $40 billion. A major part of this damage will be bore by the electricity generators and power grids.
Reports have stated that a blackout will happen that will vary from few hours to few months depending up on the severity of the solar storm. The study’s also states that the extreme blackout scenario would affect 66% of the U.S. population.
And such a solar flare or solar storm is not new to the planet Earth. In August 1859, such a solar flare was observed across the globe. People living in Queensland back then observed auroras which are highly uncommon for the location. Places near the equator like the Caribbean, the Rocky Mountains, Northern Africa, Hawaii, and even Colombia witnessed auroras. This event was known as “Carrington event” as it was first recorded by the English astronomer Richard C. Carrington.
Such an event at this point of our lives would mean losses in billions of dollars. Researchers have proposed that if only North USA is affected then the losses would mount up to $6.2 billion. If the solar flare affected 23 percent of the population of the planet then the total cost would be around $16.5 billion per day. There rates were calculated according to the value of the U.S. dollar in 2011.

Weather this year to stay favourable for chana cultivation
Indian weather has always been notorious and unpredictable. It is not always easy to predict what weather has stored in for the economy and the agricultural sector of the country.
Sowing of a particular crop depends massively on the weather forecast. However, this Monsoon bought a lot of hope for the agriculture industry keenly, for the states producing Gram or Chana.
Gram is one of the most popularly sowing crops in India and Indian states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Karnataka are the largest producers of Gram in the country. During a normal season, all the four Chana producing states cultivates on 30.595, 15.30, 13.712 and 9.232 lakh hectares of area.
As per reports, this year in total an area of around 98.39 lakh hectares has been used for Gram cultivation in comparison with that of 89.08 lakh hectares sown at the corresponding period of last year.
This year, overall, 32.52 lakh hectares of Chana has been sown in Madhya Pradesh, 17.514 lakh hectares in Rajasthan, Maharashtra used 18.40 lakh hectares for sowing gram while 10.80 lakh hectares of Chana was sown in Karnataka.
As the Monsoon season in the country went by pretty well, it improved the Chana sowing in the country. Moreover, farmers were fortified by the higher MSP of Rs 4000 per quintals plus bonuses and attractive market prices. This further led to further boosting up of the Chana crop in India.
Since the weather seems promising in the majority of Chana producing states, this season too seems to be favorable to be a good crop year for Chana crop. This can be further marked by the prevailing Chana prices in different markets.
The anticipation of a plentiful domestic crop, profuse imported crop and a stable increase in arrivals of the new crop across the country have influenced the Chana prices in chief markets of the country. As per reports, in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh Chana is trading at a rate of Rs. 6300 while in the same city, Rajasthan Chana is seen presiding at Rs.6700 per quintals.

[Hindi] कश्मीर, हिमाचल, उत्तराखंड में 48 घंटों के दौरान भारी बर्फबारी
जैसा कि स्काइमेट पहले से ही बता रहा है, उत्तर भारत के पर्वतीय राज्यों में वर्षा और हिमपात की गतिविधियां शुरू हो गई हैं। मौसम पर नज़र रखने वाले अधिकतर मॉडल संकेत कर रहे हैं कि पहाड़ी राज्यों में आने वाले दिनों में गतिविधियां और ज़ोर पकड़ेंगी तथा कुछ स्थानों पर भारी वर्षा व हिमपात देखने को मिलेगा। जम्मू कश्मीर और उससे सटे उत्तरी पाकिस्तान के पास पहुँचा पश्चिमी विक्षोभ जम्मू कश्मीर के मौसम को प्रभावित करने लगा है। यह सिस्टम काफी प्रभावी है जिससे संभावना है कि यह पहाड़ों पर सामान्य जन-जीवन को प्रभावित कर सकता है।
पर्वतीय राज्यों में घने बादल पहुँच चुके हैं और श्रीनगर, पहलगाम, गुलमर्ग, कुल्लू, मनाली तथा अन्य स्थानों पर पहले से ही हिमपात शुरू हो गया है। बाकी भागों में भी जल्द ही वर्षा और बर्फबारी शुरू होने के लिए मौसमी परिदृश्य अनुकूल दिखाई दे रहा है। स्काइमेट का अनुमान है कि 25 जनवरी से उत्तर भारत के पहाड़ी राज्यों के अधिकांश इलाके बारिश और बर्फबारी की चपेट में आएंगे तथा कुछ इलाकों में भारी हिमपात देखने को मिलेगा। अगले 48 घंटों के दौरान कुछ इलाकों में भीषण बर्फबारी की आशंका है।
जम्मू-कश्मीर, हिमाचल प्रदेश और उत्तराखंड में शुरू हुआ बारिश का यह नया दौर लंबा चलेगा। अनुमान है कि इन राज्यों में मौसमी हलचल अगले 2-3 दिनों तक बनी रह सकती है। भारी बर्फबारी की संभावना के बीच मौसम विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि यह समय हिमस्खलन के लिए भी अनुकूल है। स्थानीय लोगों को सुझाव है कि मौसम से जुड़े संकट और विपरीत मौसमी स्थितियों से निपटने के लिए तैयार रहें।
जिन भागों में हिमस्खलन की सबसे अधिक आशंका है उनमें जम्मू कश्मीर में कुपवाड़ा, बारामूला, बांदीपुरा, किश्तवाड़, राजौरी, डोडा, पुंछ और रायसी जबकि हिमाचल प्रदेश के चंबा, किन्नौर तथा लाहौल स्पीती शामिल हैं। सैलानियों को सुझाव है कि किसी विषम स्थिति का सामना करने से बेहतर है अपने पर्यटन कार्यक्रम को जल्द विराम दें और अपने-अपने ठिकानों के लिए निकल लें क्योंकि भारी बर्फबारी के बाद इन राज्यों से बाहर जाने वाले मार्गों पर यातायात प्रभावी होगा। भारी हिमपात के बाद अधिकतर रास्तों को कुछ समय के लिए बंद करना पड़ सकता है।

[Hindi] पंजाब में शुरू हुई वर्षा, हरियाणा व दिल्ली में भी जल्द बारिश की दस्तक
बुधवार की सुबह से ही पंजाब में मौसम बदला-बदला देखने को मिला। स्काइमेट के अनुमानों के अनुसार पंजाब में पहले ही बारिश शुरू हो चुकी है। अमृतसर, गुरुदासपुर, होशियारपुर, कपूरथला, लुधियाना, फ़िरोज़पुर और जालंधर में आज तड़के से ही गरज के साथ वर्षा हो रही है।
अनुमान है कि बारिश का प्रसार पंजाब के पूर्वी भागों और हरियाणा में भी धीरे-धीरे बढ़ेगा। उत्तर भारत में पहुंचे सक्रिय पश्चिमी विक्षोभ और इसके प्रभाव से विकसित हुए चक्रवाती हवाओं के क्षेत्र के चलते इन भागों में बारिश हो रही है। चक्रवाती हवाओं का क्षेत्र इस समय मध्य पाकिस्तान और उससे सटे पंजाब तथा राजस्थान पर है।
यह दोनों सिस्टम धीरे-धीरे पूर्वी दिशा में आगे बढ़ेंगे, जिससे बारिश के दायरे और इसकी तीव्रता में जल्द ही बढ़ोत्तरी देखने को मिलेगी। हरियाणा के अलावा दिल्ली में भी मौसम में बदलाव की आहट बादलों के रूप में दिखाई देने लगी है। बुधवार की शाम से ही उत्तर भारत के मैदानी भागों में अनेक स्थानों पर बारिश दर्ज की जाएगी। पंजाब और हरियाणा में अधिकांश जगहों पर हल्की से मध्यम जबकि एक-दो जगह भारी बारिश होने के आसार हैं। इन भागों में कहीं-कहीं ओले भी पड़ सकते हैं।
हालांकि दिल्ली में बुधवार की शाम से कुछ स्थानों पर बारिश की शुरूआत हल्की बौछारों के साथ होगी लेकिन अगले 24 घंटों के दौरान गतिविधियां बढ़ेगी। स्काइमेट का अनुमान है कि 26 जनवरी को दिल्ली सहित उत्तर भारत के अधिकांश मैदानी हिस्सों में अच्छी वर्षा दर्ज की जाएगी। मैदानी भागों में सामान्य से 3 से 5 डिग्री सेल्सियस ऊपर चल रहे अधिकतम तापमान में 3 से 5 डिग्री सेल्सियस की गिरावट दर्ज की जाएगी। कुछ भागों में अधिकतम तापमान 16 डिग्री से नीचे जा सकता है जिससे दिन में शीतलहर जैसे हालात बन सकते हैं।
