Study Finds Western Himalaya Warming Faster with Significant Snow Loss Projected
A recent study analyzing 120 years of temperature data and climate models found that the western Himalaya, including Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh, is warming faster than the central and eastern regions. Winters are warming more rapidly than springs, and night-time temperatures are rising faster than daytime highs. The study projects that spring snow loss in the western Himalaya could be up to three times greater by 2100 under high-emission scenarios, impacting local states significantly.
