Flash droughts, which intensify in a matter of weeks, have become more frequent since the late 1950s in 74% of the 33 regions of the planet and are expected to accelerate in an increasingly warm world, warns a study published by Science.

The Northeast region of India, despite receiving the heaviest monsoon rains in the country, is increasingly becoming

The distortion of the water cycle, particularly its extremes (droughts and rains), will be among the consequences of climate change in the future. 

In water-scarce regions, droughts pose a critical challenge to urban water security for low-income households. Droughts reduce water availability, forcing water providers to invest in additional supplies or implement costly short-term emergency measures.

The floods and droughts caused by the La Niña Phenomenon in the world could last until March 2023, according to a recent alert from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

More frequent and prolonged droughts caused by rising global temperatures pose significant risks to people and ecosystems around the world.

The drought, which affected large parts of Europe, China and the United States, is now at risk of occurring every 20 years, with the current climate, instead of every 400 years or even longer

Since 2000, the number and duration of droughts have increased by 29%. That's just one of many worrying facts revealed by a new report from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).

The impacts of climate change are already being seen in many places on the planet, with India being one of the most curious cases because, according to the latest information from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

At least a third of Himalayan glaciers will disappear by the end of the century, even if countries completely reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, according to a new report from the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development.
