Insurance woes snuff out christmas candles in Vancouver
By Paul Kennedy, The Canadian Press
BENGALURU: The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that the Christmas season is now in its second month of scorching temperatures.
The mercury has now climbed by almost one-degree Celsius for the fifth straight day, while the average global temperature, recorded from around the eastern coast of India today, stood at 30.8 degrees Celsius, or 27 C.
And for the fourth time in less than a month of heatwaves, Indian meteorologists say the summer heatwave is far from over and predicted that temperatures may rise again for this winter.
The meteorologists from IMD said it is too early to predict whether or not Indian heat will stay on trend.
But the first three months of the year have been the hottest in nearly 40 years and the temperature during the winter is also likely to rise further.
The heatwaves of the summer months last about 30 days, while in the spring the heatwaves last about seven days.
For a longer period of time, the IMD meteorologists predict the heatwaves, which are so powerful they can cause trees to sway, can happen twice.
One of those rarest weather features is known as a heatwave.
But in a typical Indian summer heatwave, the heat lasts for about two weeks, says chief meteorologist R.S. Bhaskar.
Some conditions are rarer than others, such as for example the sudden release of heavy downpours or torrential rains.
"Heatwaves are caused when air temperature is elevated and rainfall is not accompanied by a drop in pressure so air temperature rises quickly with very little pressure loss at other times," says Rajat Mehta from IMD's Center for Global Weather.
"The sudden release of atmospheric moisture and temperature fluctuations can lead to sudden and severe changes in weather patterns and also large amounts of heavy rainfall (at times)."
Mehta also predicts a rise in heatwaves in many of the world's tropical regions from this year onwards.
In other words, Indian heat waves and Indian drought conditions are likely to affect almost every land, sea and air area worldwide.
But that doesn't mean that Indian weather is suddenly going from being one of the driest years on record to one that has already recorded two major drought seasons on record, which will mean that severe monsoon conditions, and even severe heat, is on its way.
Heatwaves and drought
In an interview earlier this year with this newspaper, Rajan Bhasin, the director general of IMD, said heatwaves are a fact of life in this country.
But he added that Indi

Census stats reveal australian population growing strongly - but also in decline
Updated
Australian population growth is still holding steady at a 1.7 per cent annual rate and is now projected to hit 1.9 per cent in the next decade, which would put it at the top of the world, according to the new census.
Key points: Census shows world's largest population growth since the 1950s
Australia is expected to reach 1.9 per cent growth by 2100, according to the 2016 census
Australia's population is projected to increase at an average rate of 1.8 per cent per decade for the next 50 years
The Bureau of Statistics (BIS) released its 2017 population and age-adjusted growth estimates on Tuesday afternoon, using its 2017 growth report which included the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) data used to develop the population data.
According to the ABS the median Australian household income in 2015 was $61,823, which is almost $10,000 higher than the 2008 figure of $61,900, but is still far below the top 10 global median income in 2015 and well below the median income in Australia in 2016 ($79,600).
The population growth rate of Australia is projected to reach 1.9 per cent in the next decade, rising to 1.9 per cent by 2100.
However, as the population growth rates become less pronounced over the next decade, and the growth in Australia's per capita income slows down, more and more Australians will live below the global median in the next decades.
According to The Conversation, the median Australian per capita income in 2015 was $43,800, which is $5,000 less than the Australian median income in 2015.
Australian National University economics professor, Dr Michael McKeown, told the Australian Financial Review that the slow economic growth is putting an additional strain on the Australian economy.
"We've been putting all these numbers to the OECD's latest figures that said it would take one decade to reach 1.7 per cent growth, so there's an increasing cost for the Australian economy as a whole," he said.
"It would be quite a significant problem for Australia to go backwards and then have the rate of growth to start to creep back up again.
"The economy needs to stay strong but we have not been able to deliver that for many decades."
However, Dr McKeown also said that Australia is not an isolated case and that there are other countries that were doing this kind of growth.
"Australia is not, you can see other countries around the world. For example, the US has had an increase in their per capita GDP per person that is more than half a million, but it's not anywhere nea
