Towards the end of the 21st century, Bhutan will possibly see about 3.2 degree Celsius increase in its temperature. This is according to the analysis of historical climate and climate projection for Bhutan, a study published by the National Centre for Hydrology and Meteorology (NCHM).

The report was launched recently.

A simple data analysis was done from 1996 to 2017 over Bhutan from 15 weather stations. The analysis of the 21 year data period revealed that there was an increasing trend of temperature and a marginal decrease in the trend of rainfall in Bhutan.

Similarly, future climate projection also shows the increase in surface temperature. It is expected to increase by about 0.8 degree Celsius to more than 3.2 degree Celsius towards the end of the century.

As per the NCHM, this study model is significant to carry out future climate analysis. This will enable to foresee potential hazards and ultimately develop appropriate strategies to combat them.

“In the next 30 to 60 years, the temperature is going to increase. The report will help to plan adaptive measures for each sector and on what kind of policy should we come up with,” Tshencho Dorji, the Deputy Executive Engineer of NCHM, said.

However, the centre said they cannot exactly interpret the consequences of the trend.

With this report, the NCHM also launched a study on Bhutan Glacier inventory 2018 and reassessment of potentially dangerous glacial lakes in Bhutan.
