Tropical Monsoon Climate In India

In recent years, the predictable rhythm of the monsoon has been disrupted. Climate change is causing more frequent "extreme weather events." This means that while the total amount of rain might remain similar, it often falls in short, violent bursts that cause flash floods, followed by long dry spells that parch the earth. Rising sea temperatures in the Indian Ocean are also altering wind patterns, making the monsoon harder to predict for meteorologists and farmers alike.
