India saw the hottest and driest August this year ever since records began over a century ago, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said, news agency AFP reported. Climate change is believed to be the driving force behind this occurrence. Over the past few months, extreme weather events have intensified due to climate change. In August, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that July 2023 was the warmest month in over 1,20,000 years.
Quoting the IMD, an AFP report said that the average mean and maximum temperatures in August this year were the record highest since 1901. The main reason behind this is the large rainfall deficiency observed in several parts of the country, and a weak monsoon.
