Global · Published Sep 28, 2026
• India's monsoon, once predictable, is now increasingly erratic due to climate change.
• This shift impacts rainfall intensity, flooding, and seasonal behaviours, creating challenges and opportunities for adaptation.

Changing Rainfall Patterns and Their Impact

Regions like Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan, which historically experienced limited rainfall, are now facing heavier rains, flooding, and waterlogging. Cloudbursts and higher rainfall intensity have become more frequent, leading to flash floods and annual disruptions. These changes affect mobility, access, and daily life across India.
