Unusually Heavy Monsoon Rains Hit India

A view of the lake overflows after the heavy Monsoon rains, in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India on July 19, 2023. While many factors contribute to flooding, scientists say climate change due to global warming has increased the likelihood of heavy rain across the world, because a warmer atmosphere holds more water. China and India have already seen weeks of heavy rain causing severe damage across different areas. In northern India, authorities say almost 100 people died in the past fortnight due to landslides, flash floods and property collapses. Photo by ABACAPRESS.COM
