How warming Arabian Sea leads to Wayanad landslides
The southeast Arabian Sea is becoming warmer, causing the atmosphere above this region, including Kerala, to become thermodynamically unstable
Warming of the Arabian Sea is allowing the formation of deep cloud systems, leading to extremely heavy rainfall in Kerala in a shorter period and increasing the possibility of landslides
The soil was saturated after two weeks of rainfall
Earlier, this kind of rainfall was more common in the northern Konkan belt, north of Mangalore.
With climate change, that rain-bearing belt with deep clouds is extending southward and this is the main reason behind such heavy rainfall
