מונסונים/ הוריקנים/ טורנדו וחברים

המונסון השנה לא רע אבל יש אזורים כמו גואה שקיבלו 50% יותר מהממוצע עד עכשיו מול אזורים שקיבלו רק 50% מהנורמל. יש טענה שזה קשור להתחממות הגלובלית.

Tamil Nadu received 46 per cent less rainfall than what it receives during the period; Puducherry and Kerala have recorded 23 per cent and 10 per cent less rainfall — while central Indian states have received excess or large excess rainfall.

Madhya Pradesh has received the maximum — 114 per cent — excess rainfall, Chattisgarh a close second at 104 per cent. Gujarat, Goa and Maharashtra too have received 67 per cent, 51 per cent and 49 per cent more rainfall than what they receive during the period.

One reason for the difference could be Cyclone Nisarga, which formed in the Arabian Sea right around the time of the monsoon onset and pulled the monsoon moisture further inland into central India.

According to the first climate change assessment report for India published by the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences on June 17, this is a sign of a warming world.
