Characterized by heavy flooding lasting from June to September – roughly one-third of the year – India’s summer monsoon system is the world’s most prominent. This devastating weather event affects the lives of over one-sixth of the world’s population; in 2018 in Kerala, for example, more than 400 people died and millions more were displaced in a single series of floods.
