The Indian summer monsoon rainfall affects the lives of over a billion people. By looking at how prehistoric climate changes affected it, scientists can contribute to its future prediction.
A new report predicts that one-third of the ice in the Himalayas will melt, even if we contain global warming to 1.5C. So what does that mean for the flood-prone valleys below?
Kerala floods show the relationship between climate change and extreme rainfall is complex.
Uncontrolled growth at the expense of the environment will severely exacerbate the impacts of climate change. As shown with tragic floods in India, our cities are not prepared for extreme events.
A survey of recent global trends in temperature and rainfall – and a lesson for Mr Trump on the difference between weather and climate.
Flooding in India’s main financial hub is a reminder that urban growth has to work with nature.
Hit by weak monsoons, India faces unprecedented water shortages.
We’re more likely to remember a storm with a human face – and will prepare for it.
The Australian monsoon delivers most of northern Australia’s rainfall and is a vital feature of life in the region. But why does it occur?
From floods to drought, fire to famine, the 2015-16 El Nino has had a global impact.

Scientists are about to embark on a two month mission to find out how Australia and its reefs coped with climate change in the past, and therefore how it should cope with any future change.
With each monsoon season India waits with bated breath for forecasts from the India Meteorological Department and other international forecasting agencies. This year’s forecast suggested a weakened monsoon…
Dust from northern Africa and western Asia is having a direct influence on stronger monsoons in India. Researchers have found…
