August 7, 2012 by Climate portal editor Leave a Comment

Blame it on the rain—at least partially. Northern India has been plagued by prolonged blackouts over the past few days that have left some 600 million people without regular power. The electrical grid has never covered the entire country—around 300 million of India’s 1.2 billion citizens lack access to regular electricity—and isolated blackouts are common even in urban areas that normally get juice.

I TELL PEOPLE that I am prepared for hell as I bake in the heat of July in Delhi. Last year around this time, I was wading through flooded Delhi roads as the heavens poured down copious amounts of refreshing rain.
