While extreme rain events are on the rise, the total amount of monsoon rainfall over India is decreasing. That means longer dry periods interspersed with short spells of heavy downpour. Hence, the chances of floods and droughts co-occurring have increased.

The Fire Map shows locations where fires were detected by satellite during the last 24 hours. Regardless of whether these fires are triggered by humans or not, extremely high temperatures and dry conditions due to climate change are exacerbating them.
