The Indian government’s Assessment Of Climate Change Over The Indian Region, published in 2020, states that the monsoon will become more extreme in the coming decades. Also, there will be longer dry spells, which would alternate with heavy rains
There will be changes in monsoon precipitation. Both annual and summer monsoon precipitation are projected to increase.
Heat extremes have increased; while cold extremes have decreased. And these trends will continue over the coming decades, for the Indian subcontinent, report states.
