According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), August this year was the hottest and driest on record in India, dating back over a century. This event is thought to be a result of climate change. Extreme weather occurrences have become more frequent over the past several months due to climate change. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) reported in August that the month of July 2023 was the warmest in more than 1,20,000 years. The average mean and maximum temperatures in August of this year were the highest on record since 1901, according to an AFP report citing the IMD. The country as a whole has seen significant rainfall deficits, and a weak monsoon is the primary cause of this. Most of northern India saw considerable rainfall, although generally, the rains were mild.
