With More Heat Waves, Cyclones, Rainfall in Store for India, See How the Country’s Climate Has Been Impacted Over Years

News 18  

As world reels from extreme climate conditions due to human activities alone, India will witness more heat waves, droughts, rainfall and cyclonic activities in the coming decades, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has predicted. The Ministry of Earth Sciences data shows that the occurrence of ‘extremely heavy’ rainfall has increased by 85% while ‘very heavy’ rainfall increased by over 53% since 2012. The report said while India witnessed 250 extreme climate events in 35 years between 1970 and 2005, it recorded 310 extreme weather events post 2005 alone. Out of five systems formed in the Arabian Sea, two were ‘very severe’, one ‘extremely severe’ and one ‘super cyclonic storm’.
