In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘Monsoon: Changing Patterns’. Heavy rainfall over North and Northwest India in October underscores the changing patterns of monsoon activity over the subcontinent. Monsoon rainfall has become more erratic with fewer rainy days but more intense rain. Monsoon season which was earlier confined to the four-month period from June-September is now clearly spilling over into October. Experts point out that in line with the experience in many other parts of the world, rainfall in India is increasingly taking place in short, intense bursts. Extreme rainfall events are increasing both in intensity and frequency. Monsoon rainfall is not just a weather phenomenon. It is a key driver of the Indian economy. A significant part of Indian agriculture still depends on monsoon rainfall for irrigation. The supply of drinking water and the generation of electricity are also linked to the monsoon. So what is the reason behind this change in monsoon pattern and what needs to be done to tackle the challenges arising out of this situation?
