Drought risk projections in India are mostly based on hazard alone. In this #newpaper in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) led by Sahana V., we show that future drought risk is significantly vulnerability-driven, using IPCC notion of risk. #drought nhess.copernicus.org/articles/23/62…

Feeling honoured to meet the two giants of surface and groundwater hydrology at once @#EGU2023.

Is there “warming in the pipeline”? maybe surprisingly, no – many expect that our past emissions commit the world to continue warming, but that’s not the case. If we stop emitting (CO2), we will stop warming. Give or take small error bars. Here’s why… bg.copernicus.org/articles/17/29…

This is happening because the subtropical jet (which brings WDs to India) is no longer retreating northward before the summer monsoon onset. This year it stayed over South Asia until mid July! WDs interacting with monsoon moisture and instability is very, very dangerous.

Monsoon update: The current monsoon break spell is one of the most prolonged spells on record, already 10 days (red bars), likely to be 2-3 days more. The longest consecutive break spell was 18J-3A in 1972, a deficient year. In July 2002, 24 days were break days. MoES GoI

A shift in #monsoon pattern is impacting NE states with below normal rains & high temperatures. Strife-torn #Manipur amng worst impacted. 48% rain deficiency this year, paddy impacted amid conflict. Paddy becoming increasingly inviable #ClimateCrisis

The world is on track to experience its warmest August on record, beating the prior record set in 2016 by a fairly large margin. This further increases the likelihood that 2023 will be the warmest year since global records began in the mid-1800s.
