How monsoon is calling attention to climate change

According to the previous monsoon calendar, based on 1932-71 data, monsoon earlier covered entire country by July 15. In the new calendar, monsoon splatters all of India by July 8. According to a study, human intervention is the reason for the change in monsoonal pattern India. Read on to know why monsoon is calling attention to climate change.

Monsoon is coming. Monsoon will hit mainland India in Kerala on June 3 — arriving late by two days compared to its normal onset. Monsoon forecast has always been an intriguing business. In an unusual pattern, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on May 30 issued two onset dates — the weather department initially said monsoon would arrive by May 31 before revising it to June 3. For decades, monsoon has typically hit the Kerala coasts on June 1. The IMD model has a standard deviation of a week. In recent years, the IMD has been predicting different dates for the onset of monsoon before settling for a revised date. Following years of analysis, the IMD revised the monsoon calendar in 2020 for arrival and departure of the rain-bearing seasonal winds.
