The recent torrential monsoon rains in Uttarakhand and the subsequent floods which left thousands dead and caused extensive damage to property and institutions in the region could have been caused, surprisingly, by the paucity of low-pressure systems (convective activity) in the Western Pacific Ocean. So, hypothesises Dr. M.R. Ramesh Kumar.
Dr. Kumar is Chief Scientist, Physical Oceanography Division, National Institute of Oceanography, Goa. Convective activity in Bay of Bengal and Eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean brings rainfall over the subcontinent while convective activity in the Western Pacific Ocean diverts rain-bearing winds away from the subcontinent.
The monsoon advanced and covered the subcontinent a whole month ahead of usual and brought copious rainfall all over, including Uttarakhand.

Himalayan tsunami recalls the real tsunami which unleashed widespread destruction in the coastal areas of the Indian peninsula. The magnitude of the floods in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand disaster is similar thats to the title . It was a natural act causing great disaster which assumed the form of disaster partly because of manmade habitations in the flood plains, global warming, lack of planning in the building infrastructure and ineffective disaster prepareness .
