The warming trends have significant implications for agriculture, water resources, ecosystems, and human health. Warmer winters could affect rabi crops by increasing water stress and altering irrigation needs. The pronounced warming in the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons may exacerbate heat stress, reduce agricultural yields, and impact water availability. The uneven warming during the pre-monsoon season could lead to localised heatwaves, particularly in western India, while cooler pockets in central and southern regions may experience different climate-related challenges. The warming of traditionally cooler regions, such as the western Himalayas, could disrupt local ecosystems and tourism.
