What's Delaying Monsoon? Scientists Point To Indian Ocean, El Nino
Shivraj said a high-level meeting was held to review the situation and assess the progress of the southwest monsoon as well as its possible impact on agriculture.

Climate Change Will Make Super El Nino Especially Severe, Scientists Warn
The World Meteorological Organisation said there is an 80 per cent chance that an El Nino event develops between June and August.

80% Chance Of El Nino Developing Between June And August: Global Weather Office
There is an 80-percent chance of the warming El Nino phenomenon developing between June and August, increasing the risk of extreme weather events, the...

India Likely To See Below-Average Monsoon Rains In 2026. Reason: El Nino
El Nino, characterised by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, disrupts the Walker Circulation and often suppresses monsoon activity

Scientists Warn Strong El Nino Could Disrupt Monsoon Patterns Across The World This Year
Scientists also noted that weather conditions before the monsoon season can influence how El Nino affects rainfall.

Delhi Records 33.3 Degrees Celsius, Yellow Alert Issued For 2 Days
The change in weather conditions is attributed to shifting wind patterns and the influence of a western disturbance, which is likely to bring intermittent cloud cover and isolated rainfall over the national capital region.

Secret Rain Pattern May Have Driven Long Spells of Dry and Wetter Periods Across Horn of Africa: Study
Scientists have identified a hidden rainfall pattern that could reshape global farming. Research shows crops suffer greater drought stress when rain comes mainly from land rather than oceans. The findings highlight rising risks in the U.S. Midwest and East Africa and suggest that forest conservation and better land management could help protect rai...

How Climate Change And Warming Oceans Led To Kolkata's Historic Downpour
As Kolkata begins to mop up after one of its worst deluges in recent memory, scientists warn that such extreme weather events are no longer anomalies - they are becoming the new normal.

Explained: Why India's Monsoons Are Now Deadlier And More Unpredictable
Monsoon rainfall is becoming more erratic, with intense downpours followed by dry spells. This variability affects agriculture, water systems, and disaster preparedness.

Arabia Had Five Times More Rainfall 400 Years Ago, Study Finds
Research reveals Arabia's climate was drastically wetter 400 years ago, resembling a savannah with thriving wildlife. Sediment cores from the Gulf of Aqaba confirm fluctuating rainfall patterns over centuries. Experts highlight the importance of climate resilience as urbanisation progresses. The study emphasises the need for better flood and drough...

Rising Droughts Threaten Agriculture, Energy, and Ecosystems Worldwide
Extreme droughts have become more frequent and severe in recent decades, severely impacting agriculture, energy production, and ecosystems worldwide. Prolonged dry spells have expanded by 50,000 square kilometres each year since 1979, as temperatures rise and precipitation patterns shift. This has led to significant economic losses, particularly in...

India’s Summer Maximum Temperature to See a Rise of 1.5 Degree Celsius by 2043, Claims New Climate Data
A new report highlights the growing climate crisis in India, predicting rising temperatures, increased extreme weather events, and food security threats. By 2057, maximum temperatures may rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius, with variations across regions. Changes in rainfall patterns could impact agriculture and rural livelihoods, particularly in the nort...

Rainfall Significantly Boosts Ocean Carbon Dioxide Absorption Rates, Claims New Study
A new study led by David Ho highlights that rainfall significantly increases the ocean's carbon dioxide absorption by 5% to 7%, adding up to 140 to 190 million metric tons of CO2 annually. This research identifies mechanisms like turbulence, dilution, and wet deposition as key contributors to enhanced carbon uptake. The findings are crucial for imp...

Climate Change Intensifies Rainfall Patterns, Typhoons, Warn Scientists
"This is going to increase as global warming continues, enhancing the chances of droughts and/or floods."

India Witnesses Driest August In 100 Years, Threatening Summer Crops
India is heading for its driest August in more than a century, with scant rainfall likely to persist across large areas, partly because of the El Nino weather pattern, two weather department officials told Reuters on Friday.
