We seem to heading into an “El Nino” or alternatively “Southern Oscillation” world weather pattern
that may resemble the 1930s “Dust Bowl” period in the USA.
The media is luridly playing this up

Unfortunately this can cause crop failures, famine and turmoil - especially in India.
The story about how a boomerang throwing, eccentric math teacher
who originally knew nothing about weather forecasting
was convinced to move from his easy job in England
to harsh conditions in India
