🔆Forecasting Better in India, Come Rain or Shine
✅India is facing one of its worst monsoon seasons with recurrent flooding affecting most states.
✅According to a 2021 study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), around 40% of districts in India experience alternating climatic hazards, meaning that regions vulnerable to flooding during the monsoon are also at risk of droughts during the dry season.
✅The Mission Mausam, a government initiative launched in 2024, aims to address these challenges by expanding India's weather observation capabilities, enhancing forecasting models, and investigating innovative approaches.
✅Therefore, it is important to explore the importance of better forecasting systems and the role of Mission Mausam in mitigating the risks posed by extreme weather events.
