One must have heard about the Monsoon Rains, but Summer Rains is an evolving and abnormal category of a changing weather pattern.
The cool breeze by rains in summers pleases us. The weather, though temporary looks and feels fantastic. It makes us feel relieved from the scorching heat of summers. It also make us upload pictures of a rainbow and drizzles on social media. It may also make some of us feel romantic as well. Not to mention, I also enjoy and feel such events. But are these events normal? Is it like any other rains? What are its root causes & consequences? Is it because of the bigger picture of climate change?
Over the years, not only the frequency but also the intensity of such erratic weather events (like floods, droughts, heatwaves, erratic rainfalls) has increased manifolds. Now the question arises whom to blame for it? In my view, humanity and nature are the only two major contenders. But humans won't ever accept his deeds till the time situation becomes out of control.
Imagine the situation of a farmer who is doing the business of farming 'under the sky'. The farmer who is already in trouble, is forced to face more troubles with such out of the box extreme weather events. The situation of not so fortunate people living on streets. Such extreme and erratic weather events does not give time to adjust and adapt. One just have to face the consequences.
These events may seem normal to the common public but it also has a direct economic impact on the balance sheet of government. They need to pay heavy compensation amounts to thousands of such affected farmers. It also has an impact on public health cost due to the increasing number of patients reporting in the name of change of weather. Wildlife also gets severely affected. We have a permanent shelter to live, but wildlife have habitats. They stay in a particular habitat depending upon the seasons. But such mix and match of seasons ( like rains in summers) also puts them in trouble.
Through such events, nature is alarming and giving us a testimony about the heinous crimes done by humanity to the nature. Anyways, let us not become too serious and critical about such abnormal weather events. Instead enjoy them, but at the same time be mindful of such events and put our right efforts to mitigate such erratic weather events in future.
