Description Research article
Scientific evidence shows that climate change has begun
to manifest itself, globally, in the form of increased downpours and
storms, rising temperature and sea level, retreating glaciers, etc.
Climate change is increasingly seen as the major threat to the food
security and sustainability of agriculture in India. The effects of
the change in climatic parameters are not similar in all the places
throughout the country. The occurrence of extreme weather events
like droughts, cyclones, high-intensity precipitation, cold day & cold
nights and warm days & warm nights, etc. has changed a lot during
past decades throughout India (Chakraborty et al., 2019). But their
proportion varied from region to region. Extreme events may have
major societal, economic, and environmental impacts. Precipitation
is a fundamental component of the climate and changes in its
patterns can have large implications for human health, ecosystems,
plants, and animals in general and in agriculture in particular.
Though the amount of the total monsoon rainfall and its change is
important for climate change studies, the changes in the extreme
events may bear large meanings starting from flood risk analysis to
the proper agricultural management at the ground level. Changes
in the extreme weather events can also influence the type and the
distribution of monsoonal rainfall while there may not be any change
in the total monsoonal rainfall. As the patterns of these extremes are
highly variable over space and time, the study of the extremes at
a local scale using the information stored in the historical climate
datasets may provide crucial information in this regard. Goswami
et al. (2006) have reported an increase in the rainfall extremes (both
> 100 and >150 mm/day) and a decrease in the moderate rainfall
events during monsoon season over central India. It has also been
reported in the literature that central and peninsular India has been
influenced by a thunderstorm, high rainfall, or many times drought
events (De et al., 2005). These show that the region remains one of
the crucial zones which gets to face the effects of extreme too often
than other parts of the country
