El Nino and Rising Temperatures Pose Challenges to India's Crops and Weather Patterns
El Nino is expected to persist through February 2027, potentially affecting India's post-monsoon rainfall, winter temperatures, and rabi crop yields. The southern peninsular region has already experienced significant rainfall deficits this monsoon. Concurrently, rising temperatures and shifting crop cycles, as observed in Europe, pose risks of heat stress and earlier crop maturity in India, which may reduce yields and impact food security. Experts highlight that accelerated crop development due to heat may limit grain filling, affecting overall agricultural productivity.
