I am seeing the effects of global warming here in Saurashtra ( a region in Gujarat). That is where I have been living for the last few years. And I am seeing climate change.
Saurashtra is supposed to be a dry arid area. The average rainfall is about 18-20 inches annually. Seeing the rainfall statistics for Rajkot for the last 35 years I see in many years the rainfall has been 7 inches. The pattern had been two or three years with 15 to 25 inches then a year with about 7-10 years.
But in the last eight years this has changed. All the years the rainfall has been more than 28 inches. It touched 40 years twice or thrice. The message is clear. Rainfall is increasing over Saurashtra. Mangrol and Veraval areas have seen flooding this year.
There is deficient rainfall in Bihar, West Bengal. States that have historically seen high rainfall.
Climate change. That is what it is.
