Frost Damages Tea Plantations in Munnar, Nilgiris

Frost is hurting tea plants in Munnar and Nilgiris.

The cold weather is damaging the plants and making them lose leaves.

This is happening because of two things: Siberian high and Katabatic flow.

These bring very cold air to the tea fields.

In Munnar, about 100 hectares of tea plants are affected.

This means less tea will be made for the next three months.

Small farmers are also worried because they might lose money.

Experts say the damage is bad, but they need more time to know how much tea will be lost.
