Unseasonal Rains Hit AP, Telangana: Is Earth's Rotation Slowing? 8 Reasons
•Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are experiencing unseasonal rains, hail, and thunderstorms in March, a period usually marked by intense heat.
•A recent study by ETH Zurich & Vienna University suggests melting ice is shifting Earth's mass, slowing its rotation, though not directly causing rain.
•IMD Hyderabad attributes current rains to atmospheric instability caused by moist southeasterly winds from the Bay of Bengal mixing with summer heat.
•Key scientific reasons include global warming, rising ocean temperatures, melting glaciers, pre-monsoon convection, and a shift in monsoon patterns.
•Urban heat, pollution, and human impact are also contributing factors, with long-term trends indicating increased variability and extreme weather events.
