IN · Published Sep 13, 2026
India has experienced significant climate changes and extreme weather events between 1901 and 2018, with an approximate temperature increase of 0.7°C during this period.
The National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) has been actively studying these changes and their impacts.

Impact & Risks

The rising temperatures and extreme weather events in India have far-reaching consequences. Vulnerable populations, particularly those dependent on agriculture, are at risk due to changing rainfall patterns and increased droughts. Ecosystems are under stress, and water resources are becoming increasingly scarce in certain regions. These changes could exacerbate socio-economic inequalities and lead to significant disruptions in livelihoods, food security, and public health.
