Usually we say that rain is a blessing for farmers, but excess water is a disaster for everyone so that it hampers the activities of all local residents and will obviously greatly affect their economic cycle. Some of the residents' land belonging to farmers around here have been flooded and hopefully the rain will stop soon and the puddles can recede soon and I hope the local government will be able to handle this properly soon. Because at the beginning of the year we always feel excessive rain and that really suits the weather here where the rainy season here always occurs at the end to the beginning of the year. As an ordinary person, I also feel the impact of this because when the floods hit, people who usually sell snacks on the side of the road also cannot carry out their usual activities because they are all busy looking after their own homes and those around them. Hopefully this does not happen at your place and especially elsewhere in Indonesia. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Vyeon11 on January 21, 2023, 09:33:05 AM I'm sorry about what happened in your area.
Such a situation is sure to kill the economy, especially the lower middle class economy, as you wrote (small traders). let alone to sell, just to do activities is already very difficult, All of these must be resolved quickly. in essence, you have to report to the government, find a way out. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Baofeng on January 21, 2023, 11:32:19 PM I guess most of the Southeast Asia have been hit by storms and flooding in the last century. The thing is that the climate has change a for the worst, and now we can't really define when is the monsoon season as it is not as it used to be.
And probably this is the reason why some countries can't cope with it because of the ever evolving season. In any case, I do agree that it has bad effect, on the contrary it could bring water to our rice fields and it could be one positive side of excessive rain in my opinion. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: bangjoe on January 22, 2023, 02:50:24 AM Excessive rain is indeed very detrimental, especially if a flood occurs it becomes an obstacle to the distribution of goods from region to city or from city to region which hampers economic circulation, especially if there is damage to road infrastructure which may cause delays in the supply of goods resulting in long delays. .
In addition, community activities will be constrained, their efforts will fail, especially farmers who are the most important commodity producers in the community to meet primary needs, if there is a crop failure, it is certainly not a good thing. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: xSkylarx on January 22, 2023, 04:45:01 AM Mostly those countries that are near in Ring of Fire are really prone to typhoons. I am very sorry about what happened in your country. Our country is also experiencing moderate rain as we have a low-pressure area that already hit us, though the rain is not the same in your country as it has been 12 hours, which means a lot of flooding there, and I am worried about those low-lying areas as they are very susceptible to flooding. Additionally, those farmers' crops are affected, and food prices will rise once more.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: browsiek on January 22, 2023, 06:28:51 AM what I observe from every occurrence of a flood disaster in an area is because of the people themselves, where they throw garbage indiscriminately and do not provide smooth waterways besides the lack of public awareness in protecting the environment. The most influential in this disaster will be the farmers because their crops will fail and a shortage of staple goods will occur, so small traders will also be hampered by the increase in the price of goods. besides that workers will take the day off because of the loss of access to alternative roads, submerged buildings and loss of communication networks.

I have also observed in my country where heavy rains often lead to floods, which results in loss of human life, destruction of infrastructure land damage to agricultural crops and residential propriety. You are right that , to prevent these disasters, we need to create awareness on massive level for protecting environment by reducing consumption of fossil fuel, planting new trees as well as stop building illegal construction on river paths. additionally, the governments should take necessary steps to construct water reservoirs and pass legislation to reduce emission of toxic gases. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Bitstar_coin on January 22, 2023, 07:55:02 AM This is sad to see, flood is really causing havoc in different part of the world. In my location similar case happened to certain areas where the residents where forced to fled their homes as a result of heavy flood.
Excessive rain can definately hamper economic growth because of the destructive effects of flood. When farms have been destroyed because of flood there will be shortage of food supplies likewise when flood destroys infrastructures, it will have a negative impact on the economy because it will affect transportation, power outage, buildings which affects the economy directly. Reason why it is important the government provide better drainage system and other helpful resources to prevent this type of situations from happening. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: so98nn on January 22, 2023, 08:54:13 AM Yes definitely that is nightmare for every farmer and the whole economy depends on our food! With such natural calamities it gets worsen for every sector. It starts from the basics like farming, water treatment plants, supply chain based on it.
Once the town is disturbed it starts destroying other sectors like electricity generation, which then impacts offices, manufacturing, everything goes down with it. This means money stops flowing and economy halts as well. We had similar situation in my town, it was disaster everywhere. We couldn’t even get to our offices, vegetables were short on market, water was untreated. Surprisingly it also boosted the diseases in my town and hospitals were flooded with it. Everything collapses with this including economy. Just hold tight mate. Hope everything will be alright soon.

This is also the case in my country, where residents dispose of refuse in drainages without considering the consequences. Each time I tell some citizens about the consequences of their actions to rain insults on me and always tell me to mind my business. I blame the government because they have not monitored the drainage systems properly and there are no institutions that would punish these unpatriotic citizens. Climate change would cause more rain that would flood most areas and this would affect commercial activities, as well as food production. In my area, many farms have been destroyed by floods which have resulted in high cost of food and over-reliance on imported products. Climate change is here to stay and we expect the government to engage in various preventive measures such as the building of dams that can reduce the impact of this flood water. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: slapper on January 22, 2023, 11:55:19 AM Yeah, hearing about the floods in your region is pretty awful. I'm hoping things go better for you and your neighborhood soon. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent these days, and climate change is unquestionably a major contributing cause. Here are some things to think about:
1. The average worldwide temperature is increasing, which may cause certain locations to experience more rain and floods. Changes in weather patterns brought on by climate change might result in more severe weather events like droughts and heat waves in other regions. 2. The two most significant human activities that contribute to climate change are the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation. Communities that are already at risk from climate change, such as low-income neighborhoods or places where a large number of people live in poverty, may be particularly affected. It's crucial that we all contribute to lowering our carbon footprints and backing laws that combat climate change. My thoughts are with you and everyone else impacted by the water in the meantime. I'm hoping the neighborhood administration can provide the aid and assistance needed to get through this trying period.

The local government has indeed moved since yesterday and we as citizens also really understand it if there is a delay in handling because our government offices here are also flooded and you don't need to apologize to me because I don't blame anyone for this natural disaster.Such a situation is sure to kill the economy, especially the lower middle class economy, as you wrote (small traders). let alone to sell, just to do activities is already very difficult, All of these must be resolved quickly. in essence, you have to report to the government, find a way out. In any case, I do agree that it has bad effect, on the contrary it could bring water to our rice fields and it could be one positive side of excessive rain in my opinion. Indeed, there are positive and negative sides to this, but if excessive water occurs through very high rainfall and the effects of climate and bad weather. So the negative side far outweighs the positive because until now there has been no loss of life due to this disaster, but some of the local residents' assets have become victims such as rice fields, houses and even damaged public roads. Here are some photos that I took around the city along with government officials who have started distributing aid for this for the smooth running of the lives of its citizens.Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: JoyMarsha on January 22, 2023, 01:19:47 PM I hope that on this day all of you are always healthy and can still carry out activities as usual with great comfort, because here at the end of Indonesia where I am experiencing flooding due to continuous rain for the last 12 hours and causing puddles in several villages that are very close with the outskirts of the city as well as being very close to the river. Usually we say that rain is a blessing for farmers, but excess water is a disaster for everyone so that it hampers the activities of all local residents and will obviously greatly affect their economic cycle. No area that will be hit by this kind of storm will remain the same in terms of agricultural, road infrastructure, residential properties, and rendering of goods and services.

Hopefully this does not happen at your place and especially elsewhere in Indonesia. Flooding does hinder the economic growth of a place whether it is a rural area or an urban area. Am sorry it happened in your area at the beginning of the year. Let the local government of your area gets involved with the state government of your area to find lasting solutions to this flooding or at least minimize it. If proper measures are not taken now, I wonder what will be of your community during the rainy season. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Rruchi man on January 22, 2023, 01:36:47 PM excess water is a disaster for everyone so that it hampers the activities of all local residents and will obviously greatly affect their economic cycle. First of all I'm very sorry for what you have had to experience due to flooding. Coincidentally we just experienced the first rain of the year as I read this post and the rain has started very heavily, this indicates that we may see more heavy rainfalls during the course of the year. I understand that the issue of controlling flooding is majorly a job and responsibility of the government but personally on your own terms you can do well by starting to prepare for the flood if your area has not yet been flooded. Clear drainages around you, and do not obstruct waterways.Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Darker45 on January 22, 2023, 01:48:10 PM I agree. Sometimes it is being underestimated how the factor of rain can actually hamper an economic cycle. In my country, there are crops that rely heavily on rain or the rainy season. However, rains could come in extremes. While rain could be anticipated, even prayed for, sometimes it simply comes too much.
Entire rice fields and other crops could all go to waste because of excessive rain. Not only that, even hectares and hectares of fish ponds could be damaged by too much rain. Not to mention that so many other economic activities could also be put to a halt because of rain. Unfortunately, excessive rains are becoming a normal occurrence thanks to climate change. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: teosanru on January 22, 2023, 02:08:18 PM Economic cycle? This is a natural climatic disaster, it doesn't only disturbs the economic cycle but the complete life cycle of a certain place. A lot of people die and have to be relocated, not to forget even animals suffer a lot of deaths. People are abandoned and separated from their loved ones. So this is much more than just a disturbance in economic cycle.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: dothebeats on January 22, 2023, 04:54:01 PM When the forces of nature conspired against Man, there certainly is not much we can do but to weather the storm and rebuild afterwards. I've seen the news, the reports, and all the articles surrounding this flooding and it's really devastating to see families suffer and farmlands destroyed. It will take months or even years to get back that farmland to shape, ut the lives of those who perished will never be returned. Intense rains that cause flood causes a massive setback economically, not just to those directly affected but also those who rely on these products to survive. Needless to say, in a war of attrition, you don't really stand a chance against nature no matter how rich you may be.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Cryptodebjoe on January 23, 2023, 07:36:11 PM Countries that rely heavily on agricultural produce for export to strengthen their economy are mostly affected when flood seasons occurs and it reduces the GDP. So it can really affect economic cycle and it has damaging effects on SMEs bcuz day to day transactions won't be done with ease.... So it's definitely true. The only challenge I have with this is that some floods can be anthropogenic (man-made) especially in areas of poor sewage management....
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Bushdark on January 23, 2023, 07:49:37 PM Excessive rain is a big thread to the economy cycle which can hamper human activities causing damages to human resources. We all never wish for this kind of unfavourable conditions but sometimes when we need to an for the rainy and dry seasons when things might not come as planned. It is very painful some see this kind of flood entering people's houses and stopping commercial activities.
I feel your pains but there is less we can do about this because this is a natural disaster that we can't easily avert unless we planned ahead of time for any likely chances of it happening. Stay strong and ensure you focus on better days.

The thing is that the climate has change a for the worst, and now we can't really define when is the monsoon season as it is not as it used to be. My area was also once flooded maybe two weeks ago and I can say that it has cause tremendous effects on the business owners as some of their items were damaged because of the excessive water that has entered already into their floors. So it’s not helping at all, even the animal farms here are also seen dead because the water is overflowing that made them drown and died. Maybe it’s more of a climate change, but if this will constantly happen, it will be a huge reason for the country’s economy to fail and will hard to prosper again.And probably this is the reason why some countries can't cope with it because of the ever evolving season. In any case, I do agree that it has bad effect, on the contrary it could bring water to our rice fields and it could be one positive side of excessive rain in my opinion.

Hopefully this does not happen at your place and especially elsewhere in Indonesia. with each challenge comes an opportunity. using a canoe, going door to door selling snacks, essentials to those who cant get out the house to go grocery shopping emergency charities make a fortune on bottled water (if you flip a donator to the customer and a trapped resident as the bottle receiver) you would be surprised how much money churns and gets spent when crisis occurs Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Fortify on January 23, 2023, 09:41:03 PM Hello All I hope that on this day all of you are always healthy and can still carry out activities as usual with great comfort, because here at the end of Indonesia where I am experiencing flooding due to continuous rain for the last 12 hours and causing puddles in several villages that are very close with the outskirts of the city as well as being very close to the river.

It's sad to see any country hit by these freak weather events, unfortunately as a collective whole humanity are slowly ruining this planet and over population plays a big part in it. Nobody knows where the limits are when it comes to the right population level and if there was less waste it could probably cope with more than it does now, however we are doing so much damage right now there will be a point where it is irreversible. We are driving species to extinction through activities like deforestation, we are helping to acidify the ocean while also over fishing, we create so much unrecyclable waste it is crazy and these are just a few of the problems. As the world continues to heat up, again driven by human activity, we are likely to see more and more extreme events like these.

There are industrial pumps which can move hundreds of gallons per minute. The hard part could be finding a place to pump all of the excess water to.
Or dig trenches and pits to funnel excess flood waters into. Excavators and bulldozers might be able to gouge out a massive area near flooded cities, where flood waters could be redistributed to. A higher percentage of sand and gravel in the soil can facilitate better water drainage. I think regions with high concentrations of clay in the soil can act as a moisture barrier. Making them prone towards not draining and or being absorbed by the soil. Flooding causes all types of major issues, even after flood waters recede. Hopefully city planners can better take into account changing weather patterns and adjust accordingly. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: uneng on January 23, 2023, 11:18:52 PM Here we are also facing a severe rainy season. It rains almost everyday and all day long, but that is normal, due to the currently season of the year. Dirt roads become impassable sometimes on the reclined parts and there is nothing we can do besides waiting. Plain, flat areas where farmers use to grow crops and let their cattle eat are completely taken by water, like a great river. But again, that is normal because the nature has been behaving like this since a long time ago.
We should adapt ourselves to this reality and prepare for times like this. For an example: don't spend too much money investing on crops that might be lost to the excessive rain, build houses on safe terrain, make sure there is a decent water flow mechanism in houses and city, prefer projecting and developing suspended buildings.

Dirt roads are one of the main problem when it's raining but many people put the blame to the government. If only the government fix the road earlier and make it a concrete one then there will be no problems but governments on some countries are just corrupt and they use the tax on any other things or for their personal use and not to make the country (or it's economy) to look better.We should adapt ourselves to this reality and prepare for times like this. For an example: don't spend too much money investing on crops that might be lost to the excessive rain, build houses on safe terrain, make sure there is a decent water flow mechanism in houses and city, prefer projecting and developing suspended buildings. Water cause by rains are helpful for the farmers to grow their crops well but too much of it can hamper their crops. I think it's important for them to study how the seasons work so that they won't waste money and time on planting but they can grow their crops effectively. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: marine4u on January 26, 2023, 10:33:36 AM Heavy rain is just one part of climate change. In fact, where I live, there is usually no rain and high humidity like this year. It rains all week in January which is rare, in addition the wind is very strong. Rain also damages agricultural products and food crops, leading to higher prices. I think it is an element that has a significant influence on economic development.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: salad daging on January 26, 2023, 05:15:27 PM what I observe from every occurrence of a flood disaster in an area is because of the people themselves, where they throw garbage indiscriminately and do not provide smooth waterways besides the lack of public awareness in protecting the environment. The most influential in this disaster will be the farmers because their crops will fail and a shortage of staple goods will occur, so small traders will also be hampered by the increase in the price of goods. besides that workers will take the day off because of the loss of access to alternative roads, submerged buildings and loss of communication networks. Flood disasters always occur when the rainy season comes, this is due to the lack of awareness of the people who do not want to be disciplined, in the sense that they always throw garbage indiscriminately which clogs drains or rivers because a lot of people throw it there, this awareness never goes away, even though the government has made efforts to prevent people from habitually littering, if this has happened then an area feels that all of them including farmers will also fail to harvest because their fields are submerged and make their crops useless.So our efforts are started from ourselves because after all, if we live cleanly, throw away unwanted things and always look after the waterways, then it won't have a big impact.

But I must say this year was even more damaging because due to non stop raining, our place also ends up in flooding that cause to end some human and animals lives, and that has never happened before. Even if people have prepared for this rainy season, but we are not prepared for the flood. That’s why suspension of jobs and classes were observed, and I think the most affected were those stall business owners who can no longer sell for few days because of the flood, leaving their own families starving.We should adapt ourselves to this reality and prepare for times like this.

If people on our planet do not draw the appropriate conclusions, then it will be even worse. The average temperature on our planet is rising at an alarming rate. Because of this, the climate, the direction of sea currents, the direction of winds, and air masses change very dramatically. Everything that had previously been established in nature and to which people were accustomed began to move. It is difficult to break the balance in nature, but it is even more difficult to correct the situation later. Already now, great efforts are needed by all mankind in this matter, otherwise the situation will only worsen.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: ChiBitCTy on January 27, 2023, 04:26:18 AM Yeah it's just like with anything in live, there's always a balance that needs to be had for things to be perfect..not too much rain, but not too much dry weather. We are experiencing a similar thing here in the United States in certain areas. California has had some substantial rain themselves, which has put a hamper on tourism there which of course effects the economy as an entirety.

Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Raceonsucced on January 27, 2023, 10:23:16 AM Southeast Asia is prone to flooding, because Southeast Asia has a tropical climate. Continuous rain is not very good, especially for farmers. Plants will be damaged and reduce crop production. Likewise for street vendors, the constant rain must make them stop for a moment to sell. And yes, all of that will hamper the economic cycle.
Floods can disrupt people's daily activities, such as submerging main road access. In addition to the economy, continuous rain and flooding will also cause health problems, which will affect the community by various diseases. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: $anounimus$ on January 28, 2023, 09:38:31 AM I am sorry about the natural disaster that is happening in your area. It is undeniable that every time a natural disaster such as a flood occurs in your area, it has hampered the local community's economy. However, to overcome this problem so that it doesn't happen again, the community must take the right steps, such as always maintaining a clean environment and not cutting down trees. In addition, the local government must also make development plans that are right on target. Investment in the development sector is very important to do, especially in the field of irrigation development because Indonesia is also known for its tropical climate.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Adbitco on January 28, 2023, 11:05:20 AM Flood is natural occurrence which takes effects in every particular months of each year, this actually ravage our country on early month of October 2022, which almost rendered about 5 to 7 states homeless in my country, farms and livestocks were destroyed and lots of people misplaced their children and love ones due to the uncontrollable speed rate of the flood taking over the villages by surprise and shocked. At this points feeding became very hard, no place to sleep and have a rest. I don't think anyone should wish to experience such.
However, it can be controlled by building and constructing water channels across the the affected villages as well as reducing the rate at which buildings are being erected at the water lodges and swampy areas, this includes dumping of refuges in an unwanted place. Much filling of the swamps may cause flood because whenever it rains and there is no channel for the rain to flush away through the channels it remains stagnant and keeps increasing as the rain continuous, at the end will turn out to be flood. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: G_Besar on January 30, 2023, 08:43:17 AM with each challenge comes an opportunity. using a canoe, going door to door selling snacks, essentials to those who cant get out the house to go grocery shopping The idea you are talking about is indeed very reasonable, but so far I have never thought of it like that because it only helps find people who are willing to provide assistance to those affected by the floods. And this time we also started to flood again after a few days ago experiencing receding, but last night when it rained for six hours without stopping, we were again hit by flooding which was a little worse than the previous one.emergency charities make a fortune on bottled water (if you flip a donator to the customer and a trapped resident as the bottle receiver) you would be surprised how much money churns and gets spent when crisis occurs I wonder if its feasible to use a pipeline to pump flood waters into nearby drylands. There are industrial pumps which can move hundreds of gallons per minute. The hard part could be finding a place to pump all of the excess water to. That would be feasible, but the problem here is that there is no dry land nearby other than another way of channeling all this excess water through a ditch that leads to the river as well as to the sea. Because there are many ditches that are of low depth and also a lot of them that are dirty because they were not cleaned frequently in the past year, this is a very sad consequence that everyone has to bear now. Now the second flood is back and everyone is busy trying to save their belongings for the day.Or dig trenches and pits to funnel excess flood waters into. Excavators and bulldozers might be able to gouge out a massive area near flooded cities, where flood waters could be redistributed to. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Vishnu.Reang on May 07, 2023, 07:23:38 AM I am really feeling sorry what happen in your area hope you people soon overcome from this situation. Excess rainfall leads to crop losses, resulting in lower earnings for farmers, and lower rural demand and sales. Other sectors affected by the health of rural economy are banking, NBFCs and microfinance institutions. Extreme rainfall often leads to floods, and thereby can cause significant economic damage directly, by destroying property, and indirectly by disrupting supply chains, infrastructure, and production sites.
Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: bayudndy on May 07, 2023, 08:35:52 AM Broadly speaking, the issue of climate change is always a challenge to the economy, climate change has a great impact on the economy of each country and the world. Climate changes such as increasing temperature, rising sea level, increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters, etc can cause negative impacts on the economy such as property loss, reduced productivity, etc production reducing agricultural productivity, reducing livestock productivity, reducing natural resources, and increasing investment costs for infrastructure and technology.
Developed and developing countries are both facing climate change challenges and must look for ways to mitigate climate change impacts and strengthen preparedness for those impacts. inevitable movement. Maintaining an environmentally safe and sustainable level of economic development is a major challenge for governments and businesses around the world, and requires the cooperation and efforts of the entire international community economic. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: Fortify on May 07, 2023, 08:44:23 AM I hope that on this day all of you are always healthy and can still carry out activities as usual with great comfort, because here at the end of Indonesia where I am experiencing flooding due to continuous rain for the last 12 hours and causing puddles in several villages that are very close with the outskirts of the city as well as being very close to the river. Usually we say that rain is a blessing for farmers, but excess water is a disaster for everyone so that it hampers the activities of all local residents and will obviously greatly affect their economic cycle. Some of the residents' land belonging to farmers around here have been flooded and hopefully the rain will stop soon and the puddles can recede soon and I hope the local government will be able to handle this properly soon. Because at the beginning of the year we always feel excessive rain and that really suits the weather here where the rainy season here always occurs at the end to the beginning of the year. As an ordinary person, I also feel the impact of this because when the floods hit, people who usually sell snacks on the side of the road also cannot carry out their usual activities because they are all busy looking after their own homes and those around them. Hopefully this does not happen at your place and especially elsewhere in Indonesia. I think we'll start to see much more dramatic weather cycles in future and it is, as always, going to affect the poorest the worst. Too little rain or too much rain can be equally damaging, but some countries are very poor at resource management because of government corruption or incompetence, are likely to be worse off. We are going to see more extreme weather events due to warming, the ice caps melting and certain areas which are close to sea level might actually be lost for this reason. These things can be mitigated somewhat by improving infrastructure to deal with flooding, but it's an expensive business and sometimes people don't reinvest money wisely into their future like they should. Title: Re: Excessive Rain Can Hamper the Economic Cycle Post by: WatChe on May 07, 2023, 08:50:29 AM Heavy rain is just one part of climate change. In fact, where I live, there is usually no rain and high humidity like this year. It rains all week in January which is rare, in addition the wind is very strong. Rain also damages agricultural products and food crops, leading to higher prices. I think it is an element that has a significant influence on economic development. Excess of everything is bad whether its continuous rain or drought. For last one year in my country there are unusual rains along with hailstorm and due to this crop production has significantly gone down. Its may and in May we have heat at it's peak but due to unusual rains fans of off. There are floods coming in winter also due to these rains. There is urgent need of measures to stop global warming.
