A cloudburst is an extreme weather event in which 100 mm or more of rainfall occurs within one hour over a very small area. It usually develops when moisture-laden air rises rapidly over mountains, cools, condenses into towering cumulonimbus clouds, and suddenly releases massive amounts of rain.
🏔️ Why are the Himalayas so vulnerable? ✅ Orographic lifting ✅ Steep slopes ✅ Narrow valleys ✅ Intense monsoon moisture ✅ Unstable mountain terrain
⚠️ Cloudbursts often trigger flash floods, landslides, river overflow, and severe damage to infrastructure and lives.
