2012 Indian cold wave
The 2012 Indian cold wave was a significant meteorological event that affected large parts of India during December 2011 and January 2012. Characterized by unusually low temperatures, the cold wave resulted in severe cold conditions across several states, particularly in northern India. Key states impacted included Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Rajasthan. The cold wave led to a sharp decline in temperatures, with some areas recording minimums below freezing point. The extreme cold adversely affected agriculture, disrupted daily life, and resulted in numerous fatalities, primarily among vulnerable populations. The Indian Meteorological Department issued warnings, emphasizing the need for preparedness amidst the harsh conditions.
