This great mountain range has also been taking blame for the notoriously unpredictable Indian monsoons. Not anymore. Scientists at the <a href="http://news.mit.edu/2019/ocean-activity-control-summer-monsoons-0507">Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)</a> seem to have found that oceans have a role to play in deciding the fate of its unpredictable rains. The <keyword id="12350" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Ocean">Indian ocean</keyword> and the mountains working in tandem might be the reason why the Indian monsoon is one of the most intense annual climate events in the world, according to the co-authors of the study, John Marshall and Nicholas Lutsko. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="What we find is, the ocean’s response plays a huge role in modulating the intensity of the monsoon." auname="John Marshall, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography at MIT"></div>

 Hotter with the wind The very same summer heat that warms up the Indian subcontinent also sends warm winds to sweep across the Indian ocean — up and over South Asia. As the winds head North, the water beneath pushes south. These waters, which flow south, transport heat, thereby cooling the ocean. This process creates a bigger difference between the temperature of land and the temperature of the ocean. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="We initially had a picture that we couldn’t make a monsoon without the Himalayas, which was the established wisdom. But in our model, we had no such barrier, and we were still able to generate a monsoon, and we were excited about that." auname="Nicholas Lutsko, postdoc at MIT’s Department of Earth"></div>

 The team of researchers was able to create a model of the Indian monsoon leaving the Himalayas out of the picture altogether — that too on a hunch. John Marshall and Nicholas Lutsko, co-authors of the study, initially suspected that adding oceans to a monsoon model would decrease its intensity but found the opposite to be true. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="One reason the South Asian monsoon is so strong is there’s this big barrier to the north keeping the land warm, and there’s an ocean to the south that’s cooling, so it’s perfectly situated to be really strong." auname="Nicholas Lutsko, postdoc at MIT’s Department of Earth"></div>

 Looking forward Lutsko and Marshall plan on using their research to explain why the monsoon system didn’t work when the northern hemisphere of the world used to be much colder. Their research could also be the key the making more accurate predictions about the monsoon rains as the influence of one more variable has been accounted for. The ocean heat transporting mechanism may be a new knob in controlling the seasonal South Asian monsoon, as well as other monsoon systems around the world.

The mystery of India’s erratic monsoon can be found in the Indian ocean

Fiery monsoons are just round the corner. While it’s fun to lounge around indoors, enjoying the view with some Coffee, it poses health risks, both for you and your gadgets. 
 
As Mumbai struggles to travel between work and home with knee-deep water spelling disaster, here are your weapons to battle the rain gods if and when your turn comes: 
 
Smartphone: 
 
A phone is one of the most essential devices one uses, and there is a lot of variety to choose from here. 
 
Samsung offers waterproof smartphones, but they are slightly pricey. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and Samsung Galaxy S5 are some of the best waterproof phones in the market. These can bear depths of up to 1mts for 30 minutes. 
 
Sony’s Xperia Z, Z1, Z1 Compact, Z2, and ZR boast of the capacity of clicking underwater pictures and videos. These can definitely turn heads at the next pool party. 
 
At a budget, Motorola’s Moto E, Moto G, and Moto X models come with a special water resistant 'nano' coating. This protects it from minor splashes of water. Mind, these can’t survive an underwater dip. However, you can brave the monsoon more confidently with one of these babies in your pocket. 
 
Laptop: 
 
It’s a shame there is not a lot of option to choose from when it comes to rugged laptops. The Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 is the sole torch bearer. This bad boy boasts of vibration and shock resistance, and a solid IP65 water and dust resistance. 
 
This 13.1’’ Windows 8 laptop has Intel Core i5-520M vPro CPU with 3G, LAN, 3G, and WIMAX connectivity. The ports are covered by a flap and the display has polarization for better visibility outdoors. 
 
Camera: 
 
Waterproof cameras have been around for a while. They are cheap and perfect for those looking for wildlife or nature photography. 
 
Nikon Coolpix S32 is the common man’s rugged camera at a mere Rs. 6,950. It is freeze-proof at -10°C, shockproof at 5ft/1.5m, and waterproof till 10m. 
 
There are also Pentax WG10, Nikon Coolpix AW110, Coolpix AW120, and Olympus Stylus TG-2 in the sub Rs. 20,000 category. All these can record Full HD videos and come with built-in GPS. AW120 even has Wi-Fi capabilities! 
 
Earphones: 
 
(Image credit: Buyt) 
Want to dance in the rain? Whip out one of these and you’re good to go. 
 
The water resistant Bose SIE2i is great if you want quality. Sennheiser has a handful of water-resistant earphones. The cheapest is MX685 at Rs. 3,790, followed by CX685 at Rs. 5,490 and the PX685i, PMX685i, OCX685i at Rs. 5,990. 
 
For those on a tight budget there is Philips SHQ3000 at Rs. 1,999 and Audio Technica ATH-CKP200 at Rs. 1,799. 
 
Tablet: 
 
When your smartphone can be water-resistant, why can’t your tablet! Sadly there is only one real contender to the throne here - the Xperia Z2 tablet. It boasts of water and weather proofing, and there are flaps to seal off the ports. 
 
This 10.1 inches tablet boasts of Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 processor with 16 GB internal memory and 3 GB RAM. Unfortunately at a price of Rs. 49,990, you might want to get some water to douse the damage it’ll inflict on your pocket. 
 
Others: 
 
The market is currently littered with a lot of waterproof devices. Take hard drives and pen drives. Adata's Dashdrive Durable HD710 has a rubberized exterior that makes it shockproof and waterproof. Same with the Transcend JetFlash 810 pen drive. 
 
If you are a music buff there is always Sony’s NWZ-W273 Walkman. You can even take it swimming, or out for a jog when it’s raining. 
 
Last but not the least, while there are a lot of waterproof devices, there are also waterproof covers that you might want to invest in – a cheap and sensible option at that. Scout the markets, get one, and relax, your devices are safe from the clutches of the rain gods.

5 gadgets to brave Indian monsoons with

Because of heavy rains that submerged the roads of the capital and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Heavy-rains-all-across-india-brings-cities-like-Gurgaon-Bengaluru-to-halt/articleshow/53474410.cms">halted the traffic </a>for hours at stretch, came a lot of problems and surging vegetable prices is one of them. 
 
As per TNN sources in the wholesale markets, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/No-hopes-for-RBI-rate-cut-next-month/articleshow/53187179.cms">prices of vegetables</a> have gone up to 30%, with no chances of going down in the coming 15-20 days. 
 
Beans, which are sold for Rs 31-35 per kg in the wholesale market, are touching Rs 120 per kg in the retail market. Similarly, ladyfinger is being sold for Rs 28 per kg in the wholesale market, while the retail price is as high as Rs 80 per kg. Cauliflower, from Rs 24 per kg in wholesale, is being sold for Rs 120-160 per kg in shops. 
 
However, retailers are saying that prices have in fact come down in the last two days. "Green pea was Rs 200 per kg till last week and has come down to Rs 160 per kg now," Fateh Singh, a vegetable vendor in Mayur Vihar told TNN. 
 
Even though one can always expect vegetable prices to go up during the monsoon season, the quality of vegetables is something that consumers have to compromise with, despite the high prices. 
 
"It is not unusual for vegetable prices to rise during the monsoon. Fields are flooded and it is very difficult to bring vegetables out of the fields," said Mahinder Sanpal, member, APMC Azadpur. 
 
"Also, the vegetables start rotting because they get wet. It is the green vegetables that are affected the most. Another problem is that vehicles carrying vegetables are not being able to reach Delhi in time due to waterlogged roads," Sanpal added.

Vegetables have gone 30% costlier, and monsoons are to be blamed

Thanks to the heavy rains in the first three days of July, the <keyword id="1126021" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Monsoon-deficit">monsoon deficit</keyword> across the country has drastically reduced to 6% as compared to the 11% at the end of June. 
 
These three days have seen an average of 33.2mm rainfall across India, which is 29% above normal for these three days, and this can be attributed to the heavy rainfall in northwest and central India, the areas where monsoon is heavily concentrated as of now. 
 
As per the met office, Sunday saw the southwest monsoon getting ahead into the whole of Haryana and Punjab while also getting deeper into Gujarat and east Rajasthan. In the coming 48 hours, one can expect the wind system to cover the entire country, it told <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Monsoon-rally-in-north-and-west-deficit-drops-to-6/articleshow/53037809.cms">TNN</a>.

Heavy
rains drop monsoon deficit by 5%

Farmers in India are hopeful for good rains this year, given that the last two monsoons weren’t effective, leading to poor crops and droughts in various parts of the country. However, there is another industry, the Indian automakers, which is looking forward to heavy monsoons this year, so that demand of the new models continues to rise. These new models have attracted people despite the fact that the future of diesel-powered vehicles in the Indian domestic market is uncertain. 
 
Good rains would mean that sales would pick up further momentum as buyer sentiments would bloom in the coming months. 
 
India’s biggest auto maker Maruti Suzuki reported that it has seen a 10.6% rise in its domestic sales in the past month, because of high demand for recently launched Baleno and Vitara Brezza. However, the demand for older and smaller cars, like Alto and WagonR, has seen a dip. 
 
On the other hand, Hyundai also saw rise in the demand of Grand i10, Elite i20 and Creta, reporting an increase of 10.4% over the year earlier period. 
 
Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, the makers of top utility vehicles, have seen a rise in sales because of TUV300 and KUV100, posting over 8% rise in its sales. 
 
However, one condition on which the monsoon sales depend is the regulatory intervention, which needs to settle at the earliest so that the auto industry can get a stable environment to work in. Since December, the auto industry has been facing a ban on the registration of diesel vehicles with engines displacing 2000 cc and higher in the National Capital Region. 
 While the automakers wait for this ban to be lifted, the <keyword id="146133" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="National-Green-Tribunal">National Green Tribunal</keyword> is considering that 11 more cities should have a similar ban, which will be decided in a hearing scheduled for July.

Not only farmers, even the Indian automobile industry is waiting for heavy rains this year. Know why

The mercury has soared all across India, because of which the water storage availability at India's 91 major reservoirs has dipped to mere 37.92 billion cubic metres, and this might come as a shock to everyone, but this is just 24% of the total storage capacity of these reservoirs. 
 In its latest bulletin, the <keyword id="6357283" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Central-Water-Commission">Central Water Commission</keyword> has noted that as on April 7, the storage status of these reservoirs was even less than the corresponding period last year. 
 
It is during the monsoon period of June to September that the reservoirs usually get their share of water; however, because of less rainfall in 2014 and 2015, they have seen heavy decline in water availability. This is also directly hampering the irrigation scene of India. 
 
As a ray of hope, the India Meteorological Department has predicted abundant rainfall this year, because of which these reservoirs are supposed to get enough water during this monsoon. 
 
Indian states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Bengal, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, UP, Uttarakhand, MP, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala are facing lesser storage than last year’s corresponding period. 
 
On the other hand, Andhra Pradesh and Tripura, only two states have reported better storage as compared to the previous year.

91 Key reservoirs in India have less than a quarter of their full capacities left

Above-normal rainfall is expected during the 2024 southwest <keyword id="6358301" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="monsoon" source="Orion">monsoon</keyword> season over most parts of <keyword id="19897710" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="south-Asia" source="keywords">south Asia</keyword>, the South Asian <keyword id="21481676" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-outlook" source="keywords">Climate Outlook</keyword> Forum said on Tuesday. The forecast follows the prediction of above-normal rain in the monsoon season in <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword> on the back of favourable <keyword id="20146476" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="La-Nina" source="keywords">La Nina</keyword> conditions, expected to set in by August-September. "Above normal rainfall is most likely during the 2024 southwest monsoon season (June-September) over most parts of south Asia, except some areas over northern, eastern, and northeastern parts of the region, where below-normal rainfall is most likely," the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum (SASCOF) said. Above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures are predicted over most parts of south Asia during the season, except a few areas over the southeastern part of the region where normal temperatures are most likely. This regional climate outlook for the 2024 southwest monsoon season has been developed by all nine National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) of south Asia with support from international experts at the 28th session of SASCOF-28, conducted online. SASCOF said moderate <keyword id="19949878" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="El-Nino" source="keywords">El Nino</keyword> conditions are prevailing at present. ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) neutral conditions are expected in the first half of the monsoon season. Thereafter, La Nina conditions may set in by the second half. El Nino conditions -- periodic warming of surface waters in the central Pacific Ocean -- are associated with weaker monsoon winds and drier conditions in India. La Nina conditions -- the antithesis of El Nino -- are the dominant factor in the likelihood of "above-normal" rainfall during the monsoon season, DS Pai, a senior scientist at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), told PTI. Positive Indian Ocean Dipole conditions, favourable for the Indian monsoon, are predicted in the later part of the season. Additionally, the snow cover in the northern hemisphere is low. The northern hemisphere winter and spring snow cover extent generally have an inverse relationship with the subsequent southwest <keyword id="20575709" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="monsoon-rainfall" source="keywords">monsoon rainfall</keyword> over south Asia. Earlier this month, the IMD said the seasonal rainfall in India will be on the higher side of 'above-normal' and pegged it at 106 per cent of the long-period average (87 cm).

Above-normal monsoon rainfall predicted in south Asia

Dismayed by several recent changes in school <keyword id="6375423" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="syllabus" source="Orion">syllabus</keyword> related to the weather, <keyword id="6361617" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="Orion">climate change</keyword>, and even the Indian monsoon, a teachers' body has urged the <keyword id="48505" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ncert" source="Orion">NCERT</keyword> to rethink these deletions from the school environmental syllabus and bring in different facets of the <keyword id="6375923" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate" source="Orion">climate</keyword> crisis. Teachers Against the Climate Crisis (<keyword id="14398053" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="tacc" source="Orion">TACC</keyword>) has claimed the NCERT has removed an entire chapter on Greenhouse Effect from Class 11 Geography syllabus; an entire chapter on weather, climate weather systems, and water from the Class 7 syllabus; and information about the Indian monsoon from the Class 9 syllabus. TACC, a non-funded, non-party organisation that seeks to promote understanding about climate and has members across universities and research institutions across <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>, said it appreciates NCERT's efforts to manage learning deficit in wake of the Covid-19 pandemic by seeking to reduce students' workload by culling material - as explained on its website - however, "none of these concerns apply to fundamental issues such as climate change science, the Indian monsoon, and the other chapters that have been deleted." Stating that the relevant climate change science as being continuously updated via thousands of peer-reviewed papers published each year as well as very important compilations such as the <keyword id="8956" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="intergovernmental-panel" source="Orion">Intergovernmental Panel</keyword> on Climate Change (IPCC's) latest Assessment Reports and India's own report on climate change published by an agency under the <keyword id="158211" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ministry-of-earth-sciences" source="Orion">Ministry of Earth Sciences</keyword>, a statement from TACC said, "It is extremely important that senior school students all over India are conveyed the essence of such updated information in an accessible, easy-to-understand manner." Across the world, including in India, students have been more and more concerned about the drastic changes wrought by environmental degradation, of which climate change is an example. "Young people's actions and interventions are crucial to meeting this most fundamental challenge. This action needs to be predicted upon systematic knowledge of the reality of climate change, its causes, and its enormous reach. Students need to understand the complexity of the climate crisis if they are to respond and engage intelligently with it," TACC said. Class 10 students, however, will no longer be able to learn and be inspired by popular people's movements such as Chipko movement or Narmada Bachao Andolan in their 'Popular Struggles and Movements' lessons since the chapter on them has been taken out of their 'Democratic Politics' syllabus, it said, and urged the NCERT to rethink its decision about deletions of these topics from the environmental syllabi.

<ul><li>Sea ice in the Arctic is melting faster than ever because of rising temperature and it may adversely affect the Indian monsoon rain pattern. </li><li>It has become difficult for new sea ice to make trans-arctic journey as only 20% of the ice could actually reach the Central Arctic. </li><li>The ice is 30% less thick than it was 15 years ago. </li></ul>The polar Arctic Zone — which has been melting from the past two centuries — has started melting dramatically because of rising temperatures that could adversely impact the India’s rain pattern and the seasonal monsoon, said a team of researchers ahead of a major expedition to explore the Arctic. The sea ice has been melting faster than ever and that could have a severe implication on major ocean currents linked to extreme weather events, said the researchers. In simple words, <keyword id="7508979" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ocean-current">ocean current</keyword>s helps to transport sea ice from one destination to another. Given the current situation, Transpolar Drift — a major ocean current that transports sea ice from the <keyword id="3974424" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="laptev-sea">Laptev Sea</keyword> and East Siberian Sea towards Fram Strait — will suffer, leading to major consequences across the world including India. It is also one of the dominant factors in determining weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere, said the report. It has become increasingly difficult for new sea ice to make trans-arctic journey. Till 1990s, half the sea ice formed in the Arctic sea next to Russia was able to successfully travel without melting. However now, only 20% of the ice is able to reach the Central Arctic. In fact, 80% of the newly-formed sea ice melts as it is not thick as before. The thickness of the ice is 30% less than it was 15 years ago. This could result in emission of sea ice during summer in the Arctic, said the report. Separately, another study supports these findings. A recent study by the National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research revealed a direct relationship between <keyword id="6366055" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="global-warming">global warming</keyword> and the monsoons. “We noticed that there has been an increase in glacial melting driven by warming over the past two centuries.
