This is too late for the monsoons to arrive. This is a dangerous trend. If the 65% failure that has been predicted for monsoons becomes a reality, have you thought about the impact on the environment? With so many cities dependent on fresh water, it's going to be a catastrophe. Plus, the government is on rampage cutting environment, cutting trees to build different more buildings and like, you know, factories, etc. Uh, so without trees and everything, how is the system going to work? Plus these global wars, bombs. So just like it's what is what we are doing to the environment is completely unpredictable and the most valuable resources we have of natural climate cycles are being completely disrupted, which is a very dangerous situation we are in. So it all depends on if we get rain this time or not.
