El Niño poses risks to India's economy
India is facing a drought crisis this year along with strong impacts from the "El Niño" phenomenon. Rainfall has decreased by up to 43% below the normal average, leading to a weak monsoon season and affecting agricultural crops and water resources. Weather forecasts indicate that dry conditions will persist until July, with rainfall potentially being much lower than average throughout the season. This poses a threat to water supplies and food security across the country. The government has developed plans to respond to these potential impacts, while concerns are growing that the phenomenon could lead to larger crises in agriculture, electricity, and employment sectors in rural areas.
