@sandygrains Latest forecasts indicate that the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) should start maturing towards the latter half of the monsoon season.

[Roxy Koll ⛈ @RockSea]

What can we do?

Treat this as early warning. A weak monsoon can reduce reservoirs, soil moisture and groundwater recharge, carrying stress into rabi and next summer.

With El Niño peaking by winter, 2027 could be the hottest year ever recorded.

Plan for water, crops, and health

[Roxy Koll ⛈ @RockSea]

While some regional rains may continue, an all-India active spell strong enough to quickly erase the deficit is not clearly visible in the next 1-2 weeks.

The MISO forecast remains weak and tilted toward a dry phase over much of the Indian monsoon zone through late June.

[Roxy Koll ⛈ @RockSea]

The El Niño is developing ‘super’ fast*

...and is effectively in place in June itself (Niño 3.4 SST anomalies > 0.7°C).

El Niños usually mature toward winter. This one is developing before and during the core monsoon season.

As the world marked World Environment Day today (June 5), the Administration of the Union Territory of Ladakh organised a summit on Sustainable Development of Ladakh.

This is the talk I delivered at the summit.

भारती फुलमाळी आज लवकर बाद झाली, पण तिचं महिलांच्या T20 विश्वचषकात खेळणंही सिनेमाच्या कहाणीसारखं ठरावं. अमरावतीत उसनं क्रिकेट किट घेऊन सिलेक्शन ट्रायल देण्यापासून ते सात वर्षांनी भारतीय संघात पुनरागमन आणि ट्रोलिंगचा सामना. भारतीची ही कहाणी जरूर वाचा.

The giants of Tamil Nadu’s skies have finally been counted as Tamil Nadu Forest department wraps up its first-ever comprehensive State-wide Raptor Assessment. The results are thrilling.

• 51 species of raptors documented which is nearly 80% of all raptor species known from Tamil Nadu
• 5,712 sightings recorded
• 49 forest divisions and 389 survey blocks surveyed
• More than 10,000 km covered through one of the largest raptor assessments undertaken in India
• 3,643 person-days of field effort by forest staff, researchers and volunteers
• 40 diurnal and 11 nocturnal species recorded, revealing a thriving community of hunters that patrol Tamil Nadu’s skies day and night
• Three Critically Endangered raptors recorded, the White-rumped Vulture, Indian Vulture and Red-headed Vulture, species that have suffered catastrophic declines across the Indian subcontinent
• One Endangered and six Vulnerable raptor species documented, reaffirming Tamil Nadu’s importance as a refuge for some of the world’s most threatened birds of prey
• 15 migratory raptor species recorded along the Central Asian Flyway, linking Tamil Nadu to one of the world’s great migration routes
• Five raptor species found only in the Indian subcontinent were documented, highlighting Tamil Nadu’s role in conserving a unique natural heritage found nowhere else on Earth
• Erode, the Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Salem and Krishnagiri emerged among Tamil Nadu’s richest landscapes for birds of prey

Raptors occupy the top of the food chain and are among nature’s most powerful indicators of ecosystem health. Eagles, vultures, falcons, kites and owls soaring overhead tell a story about the health of the land below. Tamil Nadu’s first state-wide raptor survey tells us that our forests, grasslands, wetlands, mountains and coastlines support an extraordinary diversity of life and therefore protecting these extraordinary species should be our priority. Kudos @Aiwcrteofficial led by Thiru A. Udhayan,Thiru Srinivas Reddy, Thiru Rakesh Dogra and the entire team @tnforestdept for this incredible work 💪

Nino 3.4 region (the area in tropical pacific) which is used to monitor elnino development is reporting the highest SST anomaly at this time of year (red line) in comparison to last 45 years. El Nino is developing very fast.

This is what a mangrove paradise looks like 🫶
Mangroves are among nature’s greatest climate superheroes. They shield our coasts from storms, store vast amounts of carbon, nurture fisheries, filter water, and protect millions of lives and livelihoods. They are a powerful natural solution to one of humanity’s most complex challenges, climate change. On this World Environment Day, the message is clear: some of the best climate solutions are simple, local and already around us. Nature has spent millions of years perfecting ways to store carbon, conserve water, cool our planet and sustain life. As the world searches for answers, nature’s message is remarkably simple, protect what already works and that is what Tamil Nadu is doing. Restoring mangroves. Protecting native grasslands. Restoring Ecosystems, Growing native forests. Empowering communities and young people to lead the change.

Finally, Monsoon arrives in Kerala. Still winds are not as strong..

🌧️☀️ Did you know.... flood risk can actually increase after droughts?

Why? Dry, scorched soil becomes solid, unable to absorb heavy rain—leading to surface runoff and flash floods. 🌊

Healthy soil helps prevent floods. 🌱
