April cloudburst a serious climate change, delayed monsoon likely: Kiran Johare

Kolhapur, Apr 21 (UNI) The deadly cloudburst that occurred in Seri Bagna area of ​​Ramban district in Jammu and Kashmir on April 20, is a very exceptional and serious indication of climate change, which could lead to delayed arrival of the monsoon this year, according to research findings by a renowned meteorologist.
In a press release on Monday, Prof. Kiran Kumar Johare said cloudburst usually occurs in the Himalayan region between July and September. However, the occurrence of such a severe cloudburst in the month of April, especially in the third week of April, indicates a significant change in the weather system. Both the timing and intensity of cloudbursts in the Himalayas have increased, resulting in a delayed arrival of the 2025 monsoon.
Giving causes of cloudburst, Prof. Johare, who has worked in the Instrumentation and Observational Techniques Division of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, said global warming, mixture of western disturbances and local humid winds, anthropogenic interference, resulted in the cloudbursts and unexpected rainfall.
