In this week’s Skymet Podcast, AVM (Retd.) G.P. Sharma, President – Meteorology & Climate Change at Skymet, explains that Monsoon 2025 has now entered a “break phase” and highlights its impact across different regions of India.
This episode delves deep into weakening monsoon activities, declining rainfall, and the weather forecast for the coming week. We also address the recent devastating cloudburst in Uttarkashi, which caused severe destruction in vulnerable areas like Dharali and Harsil.
The fragile geography of the hills, unchecked tourism, and rising population are intensifying the impact of such natural disasters. The discussion extends to how climate change and human interference are aggravating their severity.
From reduced rainfall in Karnataka to shifting weather patterns in Northeast India, this episode provides a comprehensive overview of the changing monsoon across the country. It also emphasizes the urgent need for responsible tourism and greater climate awareness.
