  Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands in India: A Review Across Nine Urban Agglomerations

  By Nidhi Sinha

  Abstract: Since 1901, anthropogenic climate change has raised India's mean surface temperatures by about 0.9°C, compounding warming. Rapid urbanization creates persistent Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), making cities dangerously hotter than rural areas. A combination of these forces presents acute thermal hazards to hundreds of millions of urban dwellers. The paper discusses the emergence and intensification of UHI in nine large Indian cities (Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and …

  India’s Changing Skies: Unravelling the Rise of Unpredictable Weather Extremes

  By Pranvi Sharma

  Abstract: India is currently experiencing a significant transformation in its climate system, characterized by rising temperatures, irregular rainfall patterns, and an increasing frequency of extreme weather events. These changes are no longer gradual or isolated but are becoming more visible and impactful across different regions of the country. This study provides a detailed examination of long-term climatic trends in India by analysing temperature variations, monsoon behaviour, and the growing occurrence of …

  Climate Change Threat in Jaipur: Mitigating and Sustainable Attributes Through Carbon Footprint Reduction

  By Anindita Bhattacharjee, Tania Das, Mansi Singh, Swati Bhargava, Gitika Joshi, Prachi Golhar, Akshey Bhargava

  Abstract: Challenges of climate change are significantly increasing on a forward time scale. Such a phenomenon is predominantly seen in urban sectors where population is rapidly increasing, thereby resulting in extensive resource consumption leading to release of significant carbon footprint. An attempt has been made in the present paper by the authors initially to assess the carbon footprint of Jaipur, Rajasthan on a backward and forward time scale partly to suggest …

  An Overview on AI-Driven IoT Based Decision Making in Climate change Study: KSK approach in Climate Change Study

  By Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat

  Abstract: As the Earth’s climate enters a state of unprecedented volatility, the traditional methods of ecological observation—characterized by delayed reporting and fragmented data—are no longer sufficient. This study investigates the paradigm shift toward AI-driven IoT (KSK Approach)-based decision-making frameworks as the primary frontier in climate science. By deploying a "planetary nervous system" of interconnected sensors—measuring everything from soil moisture in the Sahel to glacial melt rates in the Arctic—we generate a …

  Climate variability analysis over the state of Himachal Pradesh, India

  By Priyanka Jattan, Dr. Mohan Singh Jangra, Dr. SK Bhardwaj

  Abstract: Longterm daily temperature and rainfall data (2000–2024) for thirty-five locations ranging from ~350 to >4000 m amsl were obtained from the NASA POWER database. The variability and trends in maximum, minimum temperature and rainfall were worked out by using different statistical tools and Mann-Kendal test trend analysis. The mean annual maximum temperature of the state was 20.3°C (CV = 3.9%), declining from 27.4°C in the low hills to 7.2°C at …

  Forecasting Climate-Driven Healthcare Demand in Agricultural Regions: A Multi-Modal AI Approach

  By Prince Tiwari, Rani Singh, Padma Mishra

  Abstract: The rapidly increasing instability of world climatic regimes has made past meteorological thresholds irrelevant, especially in the agricultural areas where monetary stability and well-being of humans are closely intertwined with an environmental situation. The more the frequency of 1 in every 1000-year events, i.e., heatwaves and catastrophic flooding increase, the greater the rural healthcare systems are in crisis, i.e., unable to predict a surge in demand because of data scarcity, …

  On the link of global warming and cloudiness in mid hills of Himachal Himalayas, India

  By Mohan Singh Jangra, Priyanka Jattan, S.K. Bhardwaj, Purnima Mehta

  Abstract: The present study investigated the monthly, seasonal, and annual cloud cover variability over two stations in the mid hills sub-temperate subhumid zone of Himachal Pradesh, by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, Mann-Kendall (MK), and Sen’s slope estimator test. Daily data on cloud cover, sunshine hours, maximum and minimum temperature, morning and evening relative humidity, evaporation and rainfall for the period of 22 years (2001–2022) were used in the investigation. In the …
