India's monsoon season grows increasingly unpredictable and devastating

India's monsoon season is becoming more erratic and destructive, with this year's rains hitting harder and earlier than usual. May saw the heaviest rainfall in over a century, flooding cities and arriving weeks ahead of schedule. While these seasonal downpours are crucial for agriculture and water supply, they're increasingly causing chaos—floods, landslides, and urban gridlock—as climate patterns shift.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about inconvenient weather—it’s a sign of how climate disruption is rewriting the rules of India’s most vital weather system. With millions relying on predictable monsoons for farming and daily life, the growing unpredictability threatens food security, infrastructure, and livelihoods. When rains that feed a country also start drowning it, the stakes are impossibly high.
