-

New Delhi: The effect of rain and snowfall in the Himalayas is being felt in the plains of North India. On the other hand, there is a forecast of heavy rains in the states of South India.

Due to the effect of Cyclone Mandus, it is raining in many parts of South India. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heavy rain is expected to continue in the states of southern India for the next two days due to Cyclone Mandus.

In view of Cyclone Mandus, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has appealed to fishermen not to venture into the sea for the next one to two days. People have also been told to stay away from the coastal areas, so that they can avoid loss of life and property.

Amidst the rains in South India, due to the icy winds coming from the hills, a continuous decrease in the temperature of the plains of North India is being recorded. In many states including Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, the temperature is rapidly falling.

The mountains of Jammu, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand have been receiving continuous snowfall and rain for the last several days due to Western Disturbance. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there are chances of rain with snowfall in the mountains of Gilgit, Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Ladakh, Jammu, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand for the next few days.

Meanwhile, there may be a change in the weather pattern in the next three-four days amid the possibility of Western Disturbance moving beyond northern Pakistan and its adjoining areas.

On the other hand, the effect of the icy winds blowing from the hilly areas is clearly visible on the plains. Day and night temperatures are rapidly falling in the plains. In Delhi-NCR (Delhi NCR Weather), the effect of cold is slowly visible. However, it is still not as cold as it usually is in the month of December. According to the Meteorological Department (IMD), Delhiites will have to wait for the bitter cold.

Meanwhile, there is a possibility of fog in the plains in the morning and evening and morning frost in the mountains. In many places, fog has already started falling. Due to fog in many areas in the morning, visibility becomes very low due to which traffic is being affected. Long distance trains are also being affected by the fog. Trains are also getting delayed due to fog. Due to this the passengers are facing problems.

According to private weather forecasting agency Skymet Weather, light to moderate rain and thundershowers are expected over Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Lakshadweep, Maharashtra, Marathwada, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Odisha, South Chhattisgarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
