Sequel should be interesting ! |
"It would rain continuously for over two to three weeks incessantly during my childhood. (…) Now for two decades or so the rains are not like that of yester years. They come and go in terminable bouts. At the most they may last for three to four days (…)." This is unexpected because they're telling us now that the overall warming of the planet will make it rain more in rainy places and that it's already happening. The reasoning goes thus: more heat means more evaporation from plants, more evaporation means more humidity in the air, and more humidity means more rain. (In places prone to droughts these will get worse.) The conclusion is that the local weather gods in Shillong are interfering with "global warming" at the local or regional level for reasons that only you locals can figure out. These reasons call for a sequel to the present report from Shillong, and it would have to be titled "Figuring Out the Shillong Rain Gods". |
