Premonsoon rainfall in Northeastern (NE) Indian subcontinent (NEIS) is now emerging as new hotspot of Asian monsoon research of climate change impact. Devastating tornadoes,  floods and lightning activities due to extreme Severe Local Storms (SLSs) are increasing in recent decade showing a possible signal of extreme premonsoon climate in the near future. Further, recent climate change science elucidated the unique strong land-atmosphere coupling in premonsoon system over the NE India can be a key factor to induce significant uncertainties in future climate change projection.

In this workshop, we would like to advance our understanding of premonsoon SLSs for mitigation of disasters under the upcoming climate change over this region.

Our primary topics of the workshop will be:

  • Historical database for premonsoon hazards over NEIS
  • Developments of modelling strategies for the premonsoon SLSs over NEIS
  • Innovative understanding of the concept of “premonsoon”
  • Future projection of premonsoon SLSs over NEIS under the climate change
  • Analysis of passed premonsoon SLSs over NEIS
  • Future plans for observational field campaign for premonsoon SLSs over NEIS
  • Strategies for enhancement of preparedness for premonsoon hazards over NEIS

We look forward to your active participation and contribution to this workshop.
