#Ever_recorded_highest_daily_maximum_temperature
Ever recorded highest daily maximum temperature in Nepal is 46.4 degree Celsius. This record was made at Dhangadhi on 16 June 1995.
Ever recorded highest maximum temperature observed at stations has been shown in the map below.
Ganga basin: where rivers run dry! Long term (1951-2021) changes (%) in streamflow in river basins! Red: decline, blue: increase! Stay tuned for upcoming dataset!
IWMI is pleased to announce the appointment of two new Strategic Program Directors to its Management Team: @drmohsinhafeez as Director of Water, Food and Ecosystems, and @Inga_JM as Director of Water, Growth and Inclusion.

The small border town Dawki of Meghalaya in India 🇮🇳 is popular for its famous Umngot river and a beautiful suspension bridge.
The water of Umngot river is so clear that the boats floating on it, look as if they are on a crystal glass surface.
The increasing number of temperature-related deaths in recent decades is truly alarming! We're now dangerously close to surpassing the 1.5°C threshold, and the consequences, such as heat waves & extended dry spells, will have far-reaching impacts on our planet #ClimateActionNow
Extreme weather, climate and water-related events caused 11 778 reported disasters between 1970 and 2021, with just over 2 million deaths and US$ 4.3 trillion in economic losses, according to new figures presented to #MeteoWorld.

Maybe after few years, the 1.5°C will be irreversible. Climate extremes are becoming the new norm, underscoring the need for immediate action. Let's unite to protect our planet for future generations! #ClimateActionNow
New #StateofClimate update from WMO and @MetOffice:
66% chance that annual global surface temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of next 5 years
98% likelihood that at least one of next five years will be warmest on
record.
We cannot solve the multiple challenges we face today, including hunger and #climatechange, without engaging women in the development and dissemination of innovations in agrifood systems.

There are practical, science-backed steps we can make to ensure that our climate-smart interventions incorporate gender equality.

🌡️ Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.
More intense heatwaves, heavier rainfall & other weather extremes further increase risks for human health & ecosystems.

Water emergencies are the new norm around the world.
Water security underpins food security, human health & economic development. Improving the resilience of water systems against climate change-related disruption of the scale seen in Pakistan is a matter of human security.
#PakistanFloods show global security hinges on water security
A business-as-usual approach to water security is not an option. Then, what is?
