Usually, when the monsoon season arrives, there are frequent incidents of torrential rains and flash floods. Due to this, landslides and submerged settlements occur more often. With this, the entire situation is flooded at once. At that time, it must be said that it is almost impossible to deal with this adverse weather condition that leads to loss of life and property. However, It is said that 'cloud burst' is the cause of heavy rains and floods in many places in the country! In the past, It is known that even people of the Chief Minister's level have commented that foreigners may have been involved in a cloud burst conspiracy behind the heavy rains. In this context, what exactly is this 'cloud burst'? Why does it happen? Let's see things like this now..!
According to the indian Meteorological Department, a 'cloud burst' is usually a storm that leads to very heavy rains in a very short time. In this, 10 cm of rainfall is recorded in an area of 20 to 30 sq km. In this order, these heavy rains that fall at an unexpected rate sometimes lead to flash floods. They double the danger! It is difficult to predict exactly when such a dangerous cloud burst will occur. Since there is a possibility of heavy rains in a small area, no one can say exactly in which area they will occur. However, meteorologists say that they mostly occur in high places.

Especially during the monsoon season, these sudden changes in weather occur in high places like Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, and himachal pradesh due to changes in the weather. In this context, these cloud bursts, which lead to huge loss of life and property, continue to occur in India. Several reports reveal that tens of them occur annually in the Himalayan regions alone.
