The India Meteorological Department expects south peninsular India to receive under 77% of its long period average of 118.7 mm of rainfall, continuing a dry trend that severely impacted the country last month. In contrast, select regions across Madhya Pradesh, eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, and Gujarat are projected to record normal to above-normal precipitation, aiding local wheat crops. Meanwhile, an active depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal is forecast to strengthen into a cyclonic storm named Murasu, threatening coastal areas with heavy downpours.

A federal judge ruled that SpaceXAI must face allegations that it operated unauthorized gas-fired combustion turbines to power its Colossus artificial intelligence data centers. The decision allows civil rights and environmental groups to proceed with legal claims targeting unpermitted emissions in Greater Memphis communities. This legal setback marks the second time in two weeks that the court has refused to terminate the Clean Air Act litigation.
The Yale scholar reshaped global environmental policy by pioneering mathematical frameworks that demonstrated how carbon taxes could efficiently curb industrial pollution without halting long-term economic growth. His academic breakthroughs earned him the 2018 Nobel Prize after five decades of prominent teaching, administration, and macroeconomic research. His passing followed a battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
