Dry Spell's Hazards

This year’s winter season is going to end without a drop of rain in the mid and eastern part of the country, which is a negative phenomenon seen from climate perspective. In the midst of winter, people usually do not want to shiver more in freezing cold that a precipitation brings with because it is bad for human health, especially for the old, children and sick people. But the dry winter is not propitious for people either. People living in urban areas especially in the capital city have been compelled to breathe polluted air. The quality of air is set to further worsen if there is no precipitation. Despite a fall in temperatures, the winter rainfall and snowfall have positive impact on atmosphere, winter crops, and ecosystem and river water volume. In recent years, the winter season is getting drier. As a result, the average annual maximum temperature has increased by 0.056 degree Celsius, according to meteorologists.
