Northwest India Grows Drier While South India Gets Wetter, IMD Study Finds
A 70-year study by the India Meteorological Department reports a shift in regional climate patterns across the country. In northwest India, the hot semi-arid zone expanded from about a quarter of the region's area in 1951-1980 to roughly a third by 1991-2020. The temperate zone meanwhile shrank from about a quarter to less than a fifth of the region. Researchers attribute the change to rising temperatures and declining rainfall, which moved an area equal to about 7% of the region into the drier category.
