Conclusion
Introduction

Welcome, everyone. Today, we will be discussing an


important topic that concerns us all - the effects of global
warming on the climates of Delhi and Lakshadweep. As
we know, global warming has become a pressing issue in
recent years, and its impact on our planet cannot be
ignored. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how it
affects different regions, including these two states.

Delhi, being a landlocked state, experiences extreme


temperatures throughout the year. On the other hand,
Lakshadweep, being a coastal state, has a more
moderate climate, with temperatures ranging between
20-35 degrees Celsius. Despite their differences, both
states are vulnerable to the effects of global warming,
such as rising sea levels, increased frequency of natural
disasters, and changes in precipitation patterns. By
studying the impact of global warming on these states,
we can develop strategies to mitigate its effects and
protect our environment.
Climate of Delhi
Delhi experiences a subtropical climate with
hot summers and cool winters. The
temperature in Delhi can vary greatly
throughout the year, with average highs
ranging from 25°C (77°F) in January to 41°C
(106°F) in May and June. The lowest
recorded temperature in Delhi is -2.2°C
(28°F), which occurred in December 1935.

In addition to the temperature variations,


Delhi also experiences significant seasonal
differences in rainfall. The monsoon season
typically lasts from July to September,
bringing heavy rains and occasional flooding.
On average, Delhi receives around 780 mm
(31 inches) of rainfall annually.
Climate of Lakshadweep
Lakshadweep, the group of islands located in the
Arabian Sea, has a tropical climate with high
humidity throughout the year. The temperature
ranges from a minimum of 20°C to a maximum of
35°C, making it warm and humid all year round. The
islands receive heavy rainfall during the monsoon
season, which lasts from May to September. The
average annual rainfall is around 1600 mm, making it
a lush green paradise.

The water surrounding the islands is crystal clear and


has a rich marine life. The coral reefs are home to a
variety of fish species and other marine creatures.
The islands have a unique ecosystem that is highly
dependent on the surrounding waters. The
temperature of the water remains constant
throughout the year, making it an ideal location for
water sports enthusiasts.
Comparison of Delhi and
Lakshadweep
Delhi and Lakshadweep have vastly different climates
due to their geographical locations. Delhi experiences
extreme temperatures, with scorching summers and
chilly winters. The average temperature in Delhi
during the summer months can soar up to 45°C, while
in winter it can drop down to as low as 4°C. On the
other hand, Lakshadweep has a tropical climate, with
warm temperatures throughout the year. The average
temperature in Lakshadweep hovers around 30°C.

Another major difference between the two states is


their precipitation patterns. Delhi receives most of its
rainfall during the monsoon season, which lasts from
July to September. Lakshadweep, on the other hand,
receives rainfall throughout the year due to its
proximity to the Arabian Sea. This results in lush
vegetation and abundant marine life in the region.
Effects of Global Warming on Delhi and
Lakshadweep
Global warming has had a profound impact on both Delhi
and Lakshadweep, with rising temperatures leading to a
range of negative effects. In Delhi, for example, heat waves
have become more frequent and intense, with
temperatures often exceeding 45 degrees Celsius in the
summer months. This has led to an increase in heat-related
illnesses and deaths, particularly among vulnerable
populations such as the elderly and those living in poverty.

In Lakshadweep, rising sea levels pose a significant threat


to the islands' ecosystem and infrastructure. The coral
reefs that surround the islands are already experiencing
bleaching due to warmer waters, which can lead to their
eventual death. Additionally, coastal erosion and flooding
have become more common, putting homes and
businesses at risk. These effects not only harm the
environment but also impact the livelihoods of local
communities who rely on fishing and tourism.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is clear that studying the effects of
global warming on both Delhi and Lakshadweep is of
utmost importance. Both states are facing unique
challenges due to climate change, and it is our
responsibility to take action to mitigate these effects.

We have seen that Delhi has a hot and dry climate with
extreme temperatures, while Lakshadweep has a
tropical climate with high humidity. Despite their
differences, both states are vulnerable to the effects of
global warming, such as rising sea levels and increased
frequency of natural disasters.

As individuals, we can take steps to reduce our carbon


footprint and help combat global warming. This
includes using public transportation, reducing energy
consumption, and supporting eco-friendly initiatives.
Together, we can make a difference and ensure a
sustainable future for generations to come.
Thank You

I would like to express my sincere gratitude


to everyone who has taken the time to
engage with the complex issues
surrounding climate change and its impact
on our communities. Your participation in
this discussion is crucial to finding solutions
that will benefit us all.

I hope that this presentation has provided


valuable insights into the challenges facing
two states with vastly different approaches
to addressing climate change. We
encourage you to continue exploring these
issues and to take action in your own
community to help create a sustainable
future for generations to come.
