The article forgot to mention that starting in April’23, South Asia experienced a an almost 3-month long killer heat wave.

Before the unexpectedly heavy rains that is killing people in India now, India witnessed a heatwave like never-before . We are used to heatwaves, but this year has been really grim. So many people died that the central govt & the UP state govt got scared and refused to classify these deaths due to heatstroke/ heatwave.
India’s PM Modi has publicly said “climate is not changing, we are changing” and accepting these deaths as due to heatwave caused by climate change would embarrass the dictator. so it doesn’t get acknowledged and nothing will be done to manage it.
