One-fourth of India’s monsoon rain evaporates mid-air, says new study
A study from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology reveals that nearly 25% of monsoon rain over the Western Ghats evaporates before reaching the ground. This finding is expected to improve the accuracy of climate models and weather forecasting across India.
Why it matters
Understanding raindrop evaporation is crucial for refining climate models, which directly impacts agricultural planning and disaster preparedness in monsoon-dependent regions.
Nearly a quarter of the rain that falls over the north Western Ghats during the Southwest monsoon evaporates mid-air, says a study out of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune.
