India’s Argo Float network is helping decode the Indian Ocean in real time. 🌊

With 122 Argo Floats deployed across the ocean, India is strengthening monsoon forecasting, cyclone prediction, and climate research through continuous ocean observations.

These advanced instruments collect critical data on temperature, salinity, and ocean currents — supporting better weather services and climate resilience for millions.

Dr. M. Ravichandran (@Ravi_MoES), Secretary, @moesgoi, addressed senior officers and media representatives during the press conference on the Second Stage “Long Range Forecast of the Southwest Monsoon for 2026”.

The Secretary stated that seasonal monsoon rainfall is most likely to be normal over Northeast India, while below-normal rainfall is expected over Central India, South Peninsular India, Northwest India, and the Monsoon Core Zone.

The Secretary further highlighted that rainfall during June 2026 is likely to be below normal over the country as a whole, with above-normal temperatures expected over most parts of India.

The Secretary also noted that El Niño conditions are evolving over the Equatorial Pacific and are likely to influence the monsoon season, while the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) currently remains neutral.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh inaugurated India’s first “SkyCast” System at IGI Airport, New Delhi, placing India among only 19 countries with such capability.

The facility was inaugurated in the presence of Dr.M. Ravichandran, Honourable Sec, MoEs and Dr. A. Suryachandra Rao.

[INCOIS, MoES @incoismoes]

INCOIS hosted the IOLA Working Group Meeting during 26–29 May 2026, focused on advancing India’s next-generation coupled ocean–atmosphere forecasting system.

Focus areas of discussion:

Multi-nest coupled simulations
Improving SST prediction
A collaborative effort involving INCOIS, NOAA-AOML, IMD, NCMRWF, NIT Rourkela, UT Austin, and leading scientists across institutions. This initiative reflects strong scientific collaboration towards improving ocean and weather prediction capabilities for India and the Indian Ocean region.

Dr Sunil N Oulkar, University of Leeds, United Kingdom, visited NCPOR on Wednesday, 27th May 2026 and delivered an insightful talk titled “Losing Their Cool: Examining Ice Conditions in the Western Cwm of Mt Everest.” The talk highlighted recent research on the thermal and hydrological behaviour of the firn layer at 6,660 m a.s.l. in the Western Cwm. Using field observations, remote sensing, and an autonomous telemetry system, the study revealed unusually warm firn temperatures, active meltwater processes, and their implications for Himalayan glacier dynamics under a warming climate.

The session advanced engaging discussions on cryosphere change, glacier hydrology, and the broader implications of climate change in the Himalayan region.
