Experts Link Climate Change and El Nino to Altered Indian Monsoon Patterns
Experts attribute recent changes in the Indian monsoon to climate change and shifting weather patterns, including a strengthening El Nino. The monsoon's onset has been delayed, followed by intense rainfall, particularly over Mumbai and the west coast. Additionally, the type of monsoon clouds has shifted from altostratus, which brought steady light rain, to cumulonimbus clouds causing shorter, more intense rain spells. These changes complicate rainfall forecasting and reflect broader climate impacts on monsoon behavior.
