The recent cold wave and snowfall in north India may benefit key winter crops, such as wheat and mustard. Experts said colder temperatures and snowmelt will enhance soil moisture, which is vital for the germination and growth of rabi crops.
Former director general of India Meteorological Department (IMD) K.J. Ramesh said the dip in temperature following the first spell of snowfall in hilly areas is beneficial for winter crops, and raises hopes of a bumper crop. Additional spells of snowfall and cold waves are expected until next week, he said, adding that the weather may clear by 10-11 January.
However, Ramesh warned that global warming has shortened winters, as seen in recent years with extended monsoons and other climatic shifts.
