"Unraveling the Link Between Cloudbursts and Climate Change: Are They on the Rise?"

TL;DR Summary
Cloudbursts, intense weather events characterized by heavy rainfall within a short period, have been increasing in frequency in Himalayan regions, causing devastating floods and landslides. Experts attribute this increase to climate change and unplanned development in mountainous areas. Global warming leads to more evaporation, resulting in the formation of dense cumulonimbus clouds and intense rainfall. Excessive deforestation and construction in flood-prone regions should be avoided to minimize the impact of these events.
