IMD official warns of intensified coastal challenges due to climate change and urges greenhouse gas emission reduction.

Dr. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, DGM of the India Meteorological Department, warned that climate change is intensifying coastal challenges, particularly during cyclones. Rising temperatures have led to more extreme weather and rising sea levels due to polar ice melt. He stressed that human activities are driving these changes and urged individuals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, he noted potential weather changes in Odisha on October 4 due to a low-pressure system.
