Why monsoon rains have been so deadly in India this year

Severe monsoon rains in India this year have caused deadly floods and landslides, with unprecedented rainfall in parts of the country. A major factor contributing to the intensity of the monsoon is the impact of the climate crisis, resulting in higher moisture levels in the air. Additionally, the interaction between the monsoon system and westerly disturbances has led to extreme weather events, with global warming affecting jet streams and mountain stability, further exacerbating the situation. The combination of natural factors and man-made climate change is creating catastrophic conditions during this monsoon season in India.
