It is that time of the year when all of us look to the sky, waiting for the first drops of rain to fall on our faces. We wish the monsoon would come soon. But for people who live in polluted cities like Delhi or Tokyo, there’s some bad news. Israeli scientists have discovered that air pollution may actually stop rain from falling.

To know how pollution may prevent rain from falling, it is necessary to know how and when rain falls. The sun beats down on the earth and heats up the land and water.

April 21: A few days ago, Delhi residents were pleasantly surprised when the sweltering April sky suddenly darkened with clouds and it began to rain heavily. A freak shower, they thought, since it hardly ever rains in Delhi in April.

But, surprise, surprise… the rains occurred the next day, too. And the day after. The unseasonal showers have transformed the weather marvellously. It hasn’t happened in Delhi alone.

Most of northern India, from Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh to Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, have been hit by the rains. Some parts of south India have also been lashed by rains.

सारे मौसम अच्छे

सर्दी आई, सर्दी आई
ठंड की पहने वर्दी आई।
सबने लादे ढेर से कपड़े
चाहे दुबले, चाहे तगड़े।

नाक सभी की लाल हो गई
सुकड़ी सबकी चाल हो गई।
टिठुर रहे हैं कांप रहे हैं
दौड़ रहे हैं, हांप रहे हैं।

धूप में दौड़ें तो भी सर्दी
छाओं में बैठें तो भी सर्दी।
बिस्तर के अंदर भी सर्दी
बिस्तर के बाहर भी सर्दी।
