India’s Need for Early Warning Systems for Climate Vagaries

• India’s policymakers need to take more action to protect people from monsoon-related disasters like cloudbursts, flash floods, and landslides.

• Waterlogging and infrastructure issues have disrupted life and caused traffic congestion in urban centers, causing high toll of lives.

• The need for accurate and timely data and effective communication channels is gaining importance.

• The loss of over 60 lives in Jammu and Kashmir to cloudbursts has exposed the country’s climate information system’s weaknesses.

• The complex processes involved in creating cloudbursts have exacerbated the challenges.

• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is stepping up initiatives to fill information gaps and maximize data use.

• The task of shielding people from extreme rainfall requires coordination between the IMD, scientists, planners, and local, state, and national-level authorities.

• Detailed maps of cloudburst-prone zones using historical data and satellite imagery could guide land-use plans and ensure climate-proofed construction and development activities in high-risk areas.
