India's traditional weather patterns are becoming unpredictable, posing a severe challenge to the nation's economy, agriculture, and public health. Extreme weather events, from heatwaves to floods, are increasing, impacting crop yields and farmer incomes. The Center for Science and Environment and Down To Earth's report indicates that 99% of days in the first nine months of a recent year saw extreme weather. This crisis affects food security and rural economies, necessitating climate-resilient agriculture and better support for farmers.
