Recent heavy rainfall in northern India has caused concern among people, reminiscent of the devastating floods in Uttarakhand in 2013.

2023 Himachal floods & 2013 Uttarakhand floods: what caused them explained

What is causing heavy rainfall in North India? IMD says Himachal flood similar to 2013 Uttarakhand floods

Recent heavy rainfall in northern India has caused concern among people, reminiscent of the devastating floods in Uttarakhand in 2013.

Internet is currently abuzz with pictures and videos of recent rainfall in northern India. Pictures and videos of heavy rainfall have left people worried and many wondered if this monsoon is similar to one that took place in 2013 and caused floods in Uttarakhand.&nbsp;
It is worth taking note that the recent rainfall that is being witnessed in northwest India is more than that is usually witnessed. IMD reported that this time northwest India had 59% excess rainfall, whereas, it was 4% excess rainfall in central India.&nbsp;
<h3>But, the question that lies here is what is causing extreme rainfall in North India?&nbsp;</h3>
According to a report by TOI, IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra stated that over the past two days, there were two active weather systems in north India. One of these systems was a trough stretching from Rajasthan to the north Arabian Sea, which was associated with a western disturbance.
Simultaneously, the strong monsoon conditions allowed winds from the Bay of Bengal to reach the northern region. Consequently, there was a convergence of these two systems, primarily centred around Jammu &amp; Kashmir on Saturday and Himachal Pradesh on Sunday. These areas experienced heavy showers as they received moisture from both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
He further mentioned that such interactions between two weather systems are not unusual and have often been linked to severe weather occurrences, particularly in the hilly regions of northwest India.&nbsp;
As an example, he referred to a notable incident in mid-June 2013. During that time, a western disturbance drew moisture towards the northern region from a low-pressure system originating from the Bay of Bengal. This unique combination not only facilitated the rapid progression of the monsoon across the entire country (reaching its coverage milestone by June 16) but also resulted in catastrophic heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand. The intense precipitation included a cloudburst at Kedarnath, causing significant damage and loss of life.
<h3>Is it going to rain even more in the coming days?&nbsp;</h3>
According to Mahesh Palawat, the vice president of climate change and meteorology at Skymet Weather Services, the intensity of rainfall will gradually decrease, although it is expected to persist in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and certain areas of Bihar.&nbsp;
The monsoon trough is shifting towards the Indo-Gangetic Plains. The recent period of heavy rainfall was primarily attributed to the interaction between a western disturbance and the trough. However, normal rainfall patterns will persist over northwest India in the subsequent periods, as stated by the private forecaster.

BITE:&nbsp;We don't have food, there's no place to live, nowhere to sleep,"&nbsp;
At least 14 people have died in the state of Tamil Nadu due to heavy rainfall and strong winds.
The meteorological department renewed a severe rainfall alert for Tamil Nadu and other provinces on Thursday for the coming days as a tropical depression over southwest Bay of Bengal continued to move land.
Heavy rain in southern India is not uncommon during the late monsoon season, but severe weather events like the floods in Chennai are becoming more frequent as a result of global warming.

Shutters of Idukki dam opened after 3 years as rain in Kerala&nbsp;continued to lash districts across the banks of the&nbsp;Periyar. As the water level at one of Asia's largest&nbsp;reservoir inched towards the red alert level. Kerala&nbsp;state authorities opened 3 shutters releasing one lakh litres of water from the dam per second to avoid a replay of the 2018 floods. The&nbsp;India Meteorological Department (IMD) is predicting&nbsp;heavy rains to continue over the next few days sounding an orange alert for 11 districts.&nbsp;The dam was last opened during the massive floods of 2018 -- the spill then was 20 times more than the current water level being released, according to Kerala State Electricity Board chairman B Asok.&nbsp;In 2018, the five shutters of the Idukki dam were opened after 27 years, after the water level reached red alert level. At the time, the opening had caused extensive damage in Idukki and Ernakulam district claiming over 400 lives. The damages were allegedly caused because the shutters were opened without much preparation.&nbsp;The state govt this time has set up over 150 refugee camps which is housing 4000 families currently. But local reports indicate many are stranded.&nbsp;According to the Kerala&nbsp;state police, nearly 1,000 travellers, who were on their way to Thekkady, Munnar, Mundakayam and Kottayam, found themselves stuck in due to landslides across the region.&nbsp;

Heavy rainfall in Maharashtra&nbsp;for the past one week has killed 140 people. Rescue efforts by NDRF and SDRF&nbsp;continue with over 89,333 people being evacuated.

At least 76 people died, 38 others injured and 59 are missing after many areas in Maharashtra were hit by floods and landslides triggered by heavy rains, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said on Saturday. Raigad district seems the worst-affected by the rain fury where 47 people lost their lives, including 37 in the landslide at Taliye village on Thursday, according to the state disaster management department.
Speaking to reporters in Pune, Pawar said 90,000 people were evacuated to safety so far from nine districts, hit by heavy rains over the last four days.
Parts of the Raigad and Ratnagiri districts in the coastal Konkan region and Kolhapur district in western Maharashtra have been worst affected by the floods. Besides that, heavy rains have been pounding parts of the Satara district.
Pawar said 21 teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been working with 14 teams of the Army, the Coast Guard and others in the rain-ravaged districts. Besides, four teams of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have also joined the evacuation operations.
As per a statement issued by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) earlier in the day, 76 people died and 38 others were injured in the floods that ravaged parts of the state while 30 people went missing.
A senior official of the state disaster management department told PTI on Friday that as many as 129 people have died in rain-related incidents, including multiple landslides, in Maharashtra over the two previous days.
The CMO statement said that as per the information received from the Relief and Rehabilitation Department, nearly 90,000 people have been evacuated. Seventy-five animals have perished, it added. According to Pawar, 23 areas in the Pune district are landslide-prone including five areas in Ambegaon, two in Maval, two in Khed, three in Bhor, besides one area each in Mulshi, Junnar, and Velha. &ldquo;In these areas also many people have lost their lives," he added.
"A total of 76 people have lost their lives due to heavy rains till Saturday morning (in Maharashtra). These include 47 in Raigad, six in Satara, four in Mumbai and nearby areas, one in Pune, 11 in Ratnagiri, five in Kolhapur, and two in Sindhudurg. 53 people are missing in Raigad, four in Satara and two in Thane till Saturday morning,&rdquo; the deputy CM said.
Pawar said the state government has announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh each to the kin of the victims killed in floods and landslides while the Central government has announced Rs 2 lakh each.
Speaking about the rescue operations, Pawar said 90,000 people have been relocated from the affected areas (in nine districts) and the flood-prone areas.
"21 teams of NDRF have been working along with 14 teams of the Army, the Coast Guard and others. Four teams of the SDRF have also joined the operations,&rdquo; he said.
Earlier in the day, five bodies were recovered from the landslide site at Ambeghar village in Satara district, an official had said.
The district administration had said that at least 16 people are feared trapped in the landslide at this village located in Patan tehsil as four to five houses were buried under the debris.
Pawar also said the government has decided to distribute ration kits in these affected areas.
&ldquo;Usually a ration kit includes wheat, rice, pulses, and kerosene. But considering the restrictions to get wheat flour in this scenario, the government has decided to give rice, pulses, and kerosene in ration kits, which will help people prepare khichdi as a meal. Along with this, we are appealing social organisations to come forward to run Shivbhojan thali centres in the affected areas,&rdquo; Pawar said.
The deputy CM further said the Maharashtra government is coordinating with its Karnataka counterpart to ensure flood relief for the people (in Kolhapur district) by releasing water (from Almatti dam).
