Dear readers,
As Cyclone Tauktae barrels down the west coast of India, it is a stark reminder of the impacts of climate change due to a warming sea. It is also the strongest pre-monsoon cyclone in the Arabian Sea since 2010 and may also be the strongest on India's west coast. Additionally, climate change could be behind the Uttarakhand cloudbursts.

In India, the renewable energy sector may get a boost following proposed reforms worth 40 billion dollars in discoms while discussions on making distributed renewable energy projects work for India continue.
