  6. #WeekendReading: Abhik et al. on the evolution of the Asian summer #monsoon through the Cenozoic era. It's mostly models (s.h., numerical experiments), but still offers an interesting set of hypotheses.

    So does #Indiana have #monsoon season now? So much rain, and it’s still gonna keep going for several days. April showers came early. 🌧️

  8. #India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened

    Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026

    "#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.

    What's happening?

    "The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.

    "The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.

    Why is this crop damage concerning?

    "According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.

    "This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.

    "One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

  15. 2025 was one of three hottest years on record, scientists say

    By Alexa St. John
    Dec. 30, 2025 6 AM PT

    "#ExtremeWeather events kill thousands of people and cost billions of dollars in damage annually.

    "#WWA scientists identified 157 extreme weather events as most severe this year, meaning they met criteria such as causing more than 100 deaths, affecting more than half an area’s population or leading to a state of emergency being declared. Of those they closely analyzed 22.

    "That included dangerous #HeatWaves, which the WWA said were the world’s deadliest extreme weather events this year. The researchers said some of the heat waves they studied were 10 times more likely than they would have been a decade ago because of #ClimateChange.

    " 'The heat waves we have observed this year are quite common events in our climate today, but they would have been almost impossible to occur without human-induced climate change,' Otto said. 'It makes a huge difference.'
    Prolonged drought contributed to #wildfires that scorched #Greece and #Turkey. Torrential rains and #flooding in #Mexico killed dozens of people and left many more missing. #SuperTyphoon #FungWong slammed the #Philippines, forcing more than a million people to evacuate. #Monsoon rains battered #India with floods and landslides.

    "The WWA said the increasingly frequent and severe extremes threatened the ability of millions of people across the globe to respond and adapt to those events with enough warning, time and resources, what the scientists call 'limits of adaptation.' The report pointed to #HurricaneMelissa as an example: The storm intensified so quickly that it made forecasting and planning more difficult, and pummeled #Jamaica, #Cuba and #Haiti so severely that it left the small island nations unable to respond to and handle its extreme losses and damage.

  20. RE: kolektiva.social/@MikeDunnAuth

    @ai6yr For the west coast residents, Ben's Disaster preparedness list needs to include a (inflatable) boat, though it would be hard to fit it into a stocking.

    #Disaster #Flood #Monsoon #River #Innundation #AtmosphericRiver

  21. The #lake is sustained by a significant annual #flood pulse that reverses the direction of flow along the Tonle Sap #River that fills the lake during the #monsoon and subsequently returns freshwater to the downstream delta during the dry season.

  22. The #GeoPolitics of #SouthAsia has always been volatile, but now things are getting ever more sketchy begging the question: Why is Pakistan making India a key figure in its dispute with the Taliban? As most know, both Pakistan and India are nuclear-armed countries, fond of rattling their sabres & conducting covert ops. Now, Islamabad and Kabul are at odds after recent border skirmishes. This is pure madness. Soon, within the decade, South Asia will be suffering some of the world’s most profound #ClimateChange disruptions. Even the continuing and much needed #monsoon rains may be diminished and on-the-ground temps are predicted to rise to dangerous levels, not to mention the pollution problems. One would expect regional cooperation to address & manage the #ClimateCrisis, but no… the parties involved would rather play politics. #Pakistan #India #Afghanistan aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/5/w
