Why is there no snow in Baku and what could be the consequences?

Despite the fact that more than a third of February, considered the last month of winter, has already passed, snow has not yet fallen in the capital of the country, Baku.
Yeniavaz.com reports that there is no information about when a similar situation was recorded in recent years.
For information, experts associate the lack of snowfall with global climate change.
It is reported that the climate change observed in recent years, especially global warming, leads to abnormal weather. Global warming is associated with an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap solar heat on Earth, causing an increase in temperature.
According to studies, the increase in global temperatures in recent decades has further exacerbated the problem of climate change. As a result, the winter months are becoming milder, and in some regions the amount of snowfall is generally decreasing.
Since the beginning of winter this year, there has been a lack of snowfall in Baku due to abnormal temperatures, as well as changes in atmospheric pressure and wind conditions. Although snowfalls were common in the capital during the winter months in the past, this trend has begun to change in recent years.
It should be noted that the lack of snowfall also has a number of negative consequences. The lack of snowfall primarily leads to a reduction in water resources. Snowfall plays an important role in the formation of water resources, as it accumulates in the mountains and reservoirs and melts in the spring. The lack of snow increases the risk of water shortages in the summer months.
In addition, the lack of snow has a serious impact on ecosystems. A mild winter can affect the life cycles of plants and animals. Some plants and animals have difficulty adapting to seasonal changes, which can upset the ecological balance.
A snowless winter also leads to a decrease in soil moisture, which can create problems for agriculture. Water reserves are reduced, especially for grain and other agricultural products.
The lack of snow also increases the level of air pollution. Snow helps to clean the air by absorbing some of the pollutants from the atmosphere. When there is no snow, the level of air pollution remains high, which can cause health problems.
