Rising Waters, Changing Climate: India’s Off-Season Flood Crisis

Off-season floods in India are escalating, with states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Gujarat witnessing extreme rainfall events beyond the monsoon. In 2023, Chennai saw over 300 mm of rainfall in December, while Himachal Pradesh recorded 50% excess rainfall in March—both uncharacteristic for these regions.

Climate change is the primary culprit. Rising global temperatures increase atmospheric moisture, leading to sudden cloudbursts. The Bay of Bengal’s surface temperature has risen by 1.2°C since 1950, fueling cyclonic activity that triggers erratic rainfall. Additionally, glacial melt in the Himalayas has accelerated by 65% in recent decades, causing sudden river surges.

Urbanization has worsened flood risks. Unplanned construction reduces natural drainage, while deforestation weakens soil absorption. In cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai, encroachment on wetlands has led to frequent flash floods. Strengthening early warning systems and climate-resilient infrastructure is essential to mitigate these increasing disasters.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are at an all-time high, pushing the planet toward dangerous climate thresholds.

In 2023, global COâ‚‚ emissions reached 36.8 billion metric tons, with fossil fuels responsible for 73% of the total. China leads with over 11.5 billion tons, followed by the U.S. (5.5 billion tons) and India (2.9 billion tons). Methane, which has 80 times the warming power of COâ‚‚ over 20 years, accounts for 20% of global emissions, largely from agriculture, oil, and gas leaks.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that without drastic cuts, we may breach the 1.5°C limit by 2030, intensifying heatwaves, rising seas, and extreme weather. The urgency to reduce emissions has never been greater.

The Himalayas are experiencing a severe climate crisis as rising temperatures accelerate glacial melting, leading to deadly floods and widespread water shortages (National Geographic, 2024). Erratic weather patterns are triggering frequent landslides, endangering local communities (Le Monde, 2024). Glacial lakes are swelling, raising concerns over catastrophic outbursts (AP News, 2024).

Black carbon pollution is further accelerating ice loss, worsening the crisis (Down to Earth, 2024). As farmers struggle with declining water resources and biodiversity suffers, experts stress the urgent need for mitigation efforts to prevent irreversible environmental damage in the region (Reuters, 2025).
