KOTTAYAM: In Kerala, which had 45 days’ continuous rain last year, this time, the summer may be unbearably hot. From February first week, the sun will burn to scorch the state, according to reports. The disappearance of water sheds will also add to summer woes.
Ever since 2006, summer has been becoming hotter and hotter. In 2013, four districts crossed 42 degree Celsius. This trend will spread to more districts. The above details were found in the report submitted before the government by Environment department.
Depletion of ozone layer, green house gases, destruction of water bodies, and unscientific construction activities have been pointed out to be the cause of hotter summers.
