NEW DELHI – India remains highly susceptible to the impacts of extreme weather events, a vulnerability that persists despite improvements in the predictability of such phenomena, according to an analysis by The Hindu [1]. The nation frequently experiences a range of severe weather, including heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and cyclones, which often lead to widespread disruption and loss [1]. The recurring nature of these events highlights an ongoing challenge for India in effectively preparing for and responding to their consequences [1]. While meteorological science has made strides in forecasting the trajectory and intensity of weather systems, translating this knowledge into robust protective measures at the ground level remains a complex task [1].
