Kerala is experiencing an early and intense monsoon this year, raising important questions about the state’s preparedness and the impact of climate change on weather patterns. In this live discussion, we have gathered a panel of experts to explore the science behind the early onset of the monsoon, assess Kerala’s disaster management systems, and discuss what this shift means for the future.
Joining us are reporters Krishna Kumar G, Aabha Raveendran, Dhinesh K V, and Hiran U, along with Fahad Marzook, a hazard analyst at the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority, and Dr. Ajil Kottayil, a scientist at the Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research. We analyse Kerala’s real-time response mechanisms and long-term climate adaptation strategies, examining how the state is coping with these challenges and what further action is needed.
