Flash floods in Amarnath caves due to an ‘extreme event’

The Hindu  

The flash floods in the vicinity of the Amarnath caves that cost 16 lives already were not due to a cloudburst but an ‘extreme event’ that could not be forecast in advance. On the sidelines of an event on July 11 to announce a clean-up of beaches in coastal States in September, Mr. Ravichandran said the floods were due to a “sudden” cloud formation and predicting them in advance was not yet possible because both the science as well as sophisticated instruments necessary for forecasting were insufficient. IMD meteorologist, Sonam Lotus, who heads the centre at Srinagar, in an interview to news site Kashmir Files, said rainfall registered at the Amarnath cave was around 2.5-3 cm an hour. A 2020 report by the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences noted that there was rise in high intensity rain episodes along the west coast of India and along the foothills of western Himalayas between 1969 and 2015.
