In the modern era, changes in climate and weather conditions directly affect people's daily lives. Especially, rainfall, temperature changes, and the movement of air masses observed during seasonal transition periods cause the occurrence of different natural phenomena in various regions.
Medianews.az reports that Gorxmaz Ibrahimli, chairman of the "Biosfer" Public Union and an ecologist, stated in his comment to Musavat.com that Azerbaijan is located in a mild subtropical climate zone. According to him, the characteristic features of this zone are manifesting themselves: "Currently, as the winter season in the northern hemisphere has ended and it is transitioning to spring, the presence of rainfall is normal. April is generally a rainy period in Azerbaijan. Sometimes there have also been dry transitions. A few years ago, snow fell in the Aran zone in April, destroying crops. Under the influence of cold air masses entering Azerbaijan's territory, we sometimes witness snowfall. This is mainly related to air masses coming from the north. Snow and wet snow fall in mountain and foothill areas at this time, while rainy weather is observed in the Aran regions."
According to the ecologist, the rainy transition of April is not related to climate change: "If we look at statistics, such a situation repeats once every few years. This is a cyclical condition. There is no need to worry about it. Precipitation will continue. The air temperature will increase. The weather will be normal towards summer. Let's not forget that June and July can also be rainy months. In general, March and April are considered rainy months. The period of high water levels in streams has begun. It will also be like this in May. The important thing is that there should not be houses on water. Floods were observed because settlement and the establishment of communication lines were not done properly in Baku and the Absheron peninsula. In some stream areas, people still cannot return to their homes. The opinion that "spring and autumn seasons are no longer experienced in Azerbaijan" is not true," the ecologist said. (Musavat.com)
