Kathmandu, Nepal 

Experts have warned that the summer of 2025 will bring significant climatic challenges to the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region, with temperatures predicted to be 0.5 to 2ºC above the long-term average. This increase will likely affect all eight countries in the region, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (Tibetan Plateau), India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.

Monsoon Rainfall Above Normal for Much of South Asia

A synthesis of global and national meteorological predictions points to an above-normal monsoon across much of South Asia. Countries such as India, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Tibetan Plateau in China are expected to receive significantly higher precipitation. In contrast, Afghanistan and Myanmar may experience below-normal rainfall.

Increased Risk of Hydrometeorological Hazards

The forecasted above-normal precipitation across South Asia heightens the risk of hydrometeorological hazards in the HKH region. These include floods, landslides, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Such events pose severe threats to lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure in this ecologically fragile yet densely populated region.

Implications for Communities and Policymakers

The forecast highlights the urgent need for preparedness in the face of these impending challenges. Experts emphasize that governments and local communities must strengthen early warning systems, improve disaster management strategies, and implement climate-resilient infrastructure projects to mitigate potential damage.

Call for Regional Cooperation

Given the transboundary nature of climatic risks, regional collaboration will be key to addressing the impacts of this year’s monsoon. Shared resources, knowledge exchange, and coordinated disaster response measures could significantly enhance resilience in the region.
