Abstract: At global level the disturbance in climate is continued and as an additional effect of global warming, the surprising truth of global cooling is haunting. Since the last decade there is a decreasing trend in global temperature. The year 2011 was recorded as the coolest year globally since 2000. The winter period is being longer both in intensity and duration. The decline in global temperature is creating abnormal climatic change. The incidence of abnormal heavy snow fall, stormy rains with hails in different parts of the world is depicting an upward trend every year. Recently on 16th February 2011, the north- eastern Koshi region of Bihar was badly affected by the erratic climatic change. Supaul district was the worst affected. At about 6 P.M., a sharp short-lived storm with rains and large-sized stony hails came and heavily damaged the standing crops and other plants.
