NEW DELHI, Aug. 24, 2023 (TBINN)
Barring cumulative rainfall over the country, this year’s Monsoon has been anything but normal and experts point to climate change as the underlying cause.
From a cyclone with the longest lifespan in the Arabian Sea to devastating floods in parts of North-West India and the adjoining Himalayan states, as well as a prolonged break in the Monsoon, the unmistakable imprints of climate change are evident this year, asserted Mahesh Palawat, Vice President (Climate Change and Meteorology) at private forecasting agency Skymet Weather.
In early June, cyclone Biparjoy delayed the onset of Monsoon over Kerala and the advance over southern India and the adjoining western and central parts of the country.
