New Delhi: India will experience dry monsoons, due to severe climatic changes, apart from other serious impacts like heat waves, high temperature, extreme precipitation and severe drought, according to an official report.
India is under a threat of increased glacier retreat, rising sea level and quicker precipitation, said an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.
"Monsoons are going to bring less and less rain to India. India is going to be impacted by heat waves, high temperature, precipitation and severe droughts," IPCC head R.K. Pachauri said.
"The Himalayas are going to be majorly affected, while precipitation changes are going to affect the people who depend on rain," he added.
Snow cover
This comes after the panel released a worldwide report in Paris, which was attended by 300 delegates from 113 countries.
According to Pachauri, the snow cover in northern hemisphere is gradually decreasing and mankind is soon going to experience warmer nights more.
