A cloudburst is a sudden, intense downpour over a small area, often catastrophic in mountainous terrain. Himachal and Uttarakhand get them frequently due to a combination of orographic lift and changing monsoon patterns, where moisture-laden clouds are forced upward by the Himalayas and release their load all at once. Studying the data trends here, I see these events becoming less a freak anomaly and more a brutal pattern. It makes me think of my own monsoon rain, that beloved smell—what was a comfort is now, in these charts, a measure of a system tipping violently out of balance.
