Extreme Weather Events To Rise Manifold In India Due To Climate Change: IIT Gandhinagar Study

-PTI/ NDTV.com

The IIT Gandhinagar study highlighted that mega-heatwaves occurred during the summer of 1995 and 1998, with 20 per cent and 8 per cent of the country being affected by sequential extremes.

New Delhi: The frequency of extreme weather events such as floods and heatwaves is projected to rise manifold in India in the future due to climate change, according to a study by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. The research team studied the period from 1951 to 2020 to quantify India's risk of sequential extremes -- heatwaves in the summer and extreme rainfall in the following summer monsoon season over the same regions.

One of the examples of sequential extremes is the heatwave and flood in Pakistan this year that affected millions of people. Similar extremes occur in India with large implications for agricultural production, public health, and infrastructure, the researchers said.
