A scary prediction! :scared:

[h=3]Drought years may become more frequent in India, says study[/h]    While India is awaiting a good monsoon this year after two consecutive years of deficient rains, the country may have to brace for more frequent drought years in the future, say meteorologists from from Pune and Kerala who have assessed country-wide rainfall data for more than 150 years. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), if the rainfall during the four monsoon months of June to September is deficient by 10 per cent of its long-term average, it is declared a drought monsoon. The frequency is set to increase between 2020 and 2049, meteorologists say in a research paper to be published in Current Science, an Indian peer reviewed science journal published by Current Science Association along with the Indian Academy of Science.
