This review examines rainfall variability and its socio-economic impacts in Kerala, suggesting adaptation strategies for vulnerabilities.
Kerala, located on the southwest coast of India, has experienced increasingly erratic rainfall patterns in recent years, driven by global climate change, monsoonal variability, and anthropogenic influences. This review synthesizes recent findings on rainfall variability in Kerala, examines the socio-economic and environmental consequences of such changes, and discusses the associated vulnerabilities and recommended adaptation strategies. Using recent case studies and climatological data, the implications for agriculture, infrastructure, health, and disaster preparedness are examined.
