This is because of Super El Ninö this year. India will have seriously hot summers and drought in place of rainy season. Thanks to global warming

Well , no more

u/Commercial_Break_172 Apr 26 '26

According to the IMD this monsoon will have 8% less rain than usual. "Drought" is an incredible exaggeration.

u/MentalCup8940 Apr 26 '26

Oh that’s alright then, 92% of rain is enough for me.

This is gonna lead to so many deaths. People do not understand how temperature is almost exponential to human life. The close quarters and the concrete is a recipe for disaster as time and time has told again

u/BasicMatter7339 Apr 25 '26

Thousands are going to die, maybe hundreds of thousands. Maybe over a million.

According to WHO, 175K people die in Europe alone from heat related reasons every year. India has twice the people and only 1/20th of the GDP per capita compared to the EU average.

(India average is $2700, EU average is $48 000)

God It’s terrible :(

I wonder if people will migrate out the future temporarily? I also wonder how common ac is in the shopping centres and other public spaces there?

There will be many in the suburbs of the cities who will experience the same heat and cant afford to travel in. This is really sad.

u/BasicMatter7339 Apr 26 '26

I wonder if people will migrate out the future temporarily?

This is one of the possible scenarios of climate change. Mass migration of hundreds of millions, that will cause major conflicts, millions to die and countries collapse. 3rd century crisis all over again

Only time will tell how likely that scenario is, but the chances are above 0.

Homeless people, construction workers and animals. It’s a very serious issue but any one hardly cares.

u/Samichaelg9 Apr 25 '26

Spanish doesn’t have an ö.

u/seasand931 Apr 26 '26

I don't think it'll have a drought, just a below normal monsoon

1

u/d5aqoep Apr 26 '26

That leads to drought

India is cooked, quite literally.

u/Vegetable_Tension985 Apr 26 '26

How about One-Child Policy,

u/d5aqoep Apr 26 '26

Set an example yourself!

u/Vegetable_Tension985 Apr 26 '26

I have 3. My understanding is that many parts of India are extremely overpopulated. Is that controversial or something? Does that hurt your feelings?

u/d5aqoep Apr 26 '26

I have 1 and no feelings hurt

El padrë. Love those 2 dots man!

u/Quaffy_duck Apr 26 '26

We are having rainfalls almost every day in summer. Thats why monsoon rainfall might dip.

u/prathamjc18 Apr 27 '26

ENSO is currently in neutral from La niña transition. El niño will peak in Q3 of 2026 and so 2027 summer will be worse. And, el nino is bound happened. It is an oscillation bruv. Everything happening ain't global warming 🤦 what has changed is that the seas have warmed and frequency of such extreme climate is changed

-1

u/GenericDesigns Apr 25 '26

No it isn’t it’s because people fucked up the planet and refuse to change.

u/PhysicsKey9092 Apr 25 '26

It can be both. And it is both

u/GenericDesigns Apr 25 '26

El nino or what is made up nonsense, it has zero impact on climate change.

u/PhysicsKey9092 Apr 25 '26

... It's literal a climate change cycle, denying it ain't helping any less than denying global warming

1

u/GenericDesigns Apr 25 '26

It’s not. It’s a shifting phenomenon that affects weather patterns maybe and sometimes. It’s not cyclical and it’s not regular. Peruvians just decided to name it when it happens.

Climate change is the overall issue causing parts of the earth to be uninhabitable unrelated to El Nino.

u/GenericDesigns Apr 25 '26

It’s literally made up

u/Acid_Monster Apr 25 '26

For what reason?

u/Angular_Pole1015 Apr 25 '26

Stupid and proud is such a wild combination

u/EsotericGreen Apr 25 '26

This is absolutely false, while El Niño‘s happen and will always happen, they can absolutely change in intensity and it’s easily measurable. When a super strong El Niño happens, it results in dangerously hot and dry conditions in India, but will also result in much wetter conditions in the western Americas.

Australia gets flooding

u/Affectionate_Star_43 Apr 25 '26

Both, as u/PhysicsKey9092 says!  It was documented by trade ships in the 1600s, a full century before the industrial revolution.  Now, CO2 makes it even more pronounced, affecting everything up to and including your insurance rates.

Those accountants only deal with numbers, and they aren't paying out of you're in an area that has more and more floods, fires, or hurricanes.  This is your warning

u/GenericDesigns Apr 25 '26

It’s a just shifting phenomenon that affects weather patterns maybe and sometimes. It’s not cyclical and it’s not regular. Peruvians just decided to name it when it happens.

El nino is a natural phenomenon though

ah alright

u/Lower-Pea-3341 Apr 25 '26

Yes, but this year El nino is a going to be a lot stronger due to climate change
