This short video was taken when the rampaging monsoon was at its wild best in Kozhikode, north Kerala in the southwest of India. It was taken from the relative safety of my office through the 1st floor window.

The warming climate means that more moisture can be held in the atmosphere which could mean heavier rainfall when it does rain.

Future simulations suggest increases in the amount of rainfall. The typical rainfall will probably increase by about 5 to 10%. If the monsoon causes intense and heavy rainfall then it can lead to flooding and if the monsoon ends early then it can cause water shortages and drought for crop growing.

Domestic animals in India are very important for farmers. They can also be affected by the monsoons. Bad flooding can destroy food for the animals and water borne illnesses can spread more quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
India's animals can also be affected by monsoons. A wildlife reserve had 225 animals killed including deer, rhinos and at least one tiger. When the flooding happens, many animals  struggle to make it to higher ground and are found in unusual places. There is also a higher likeliness for rhino poaching because they get displaced from their natural habitats.

The monsoons are very important to India's water cycle. However, changes in the monsoons may cause more water borne diseases like cholera, as well as more diseases carried by insects like malaria. Monsoons give India water which they also use for electricity.

When the flooding first came from monoons, no one was prepared. It destroyed villages and killed lots of people. There has been an increase of how much rain the summer monsoon is bringing. Scientists predict that there will be about a 20% increase in rain from the summer monsoon.

There are 2 monsoons in India. The summer one happens between April and September and blows from the southwest to the northeast. The winter monsoon happens between October and April blowing the opposite direction.

A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of strong. It can sometimes cause rain, but rain is not actually a monsoon. Some  monsoons become tropical cyclones before they reach the land causing more flooding.
