India is one of the largest consumers of rice in the world, and for millions of households, it is not just food but a daily staple.

Climate change is often discussed in terms of rising air temperatures and extreme weather on land. However, a less visible but equally critical phenomenon is unfolding in the world’s oceans. Marine heatwaves—periods of unusually high ocean temperatures—are increasingly influencing weather patterns, particularly in coastal regions.

This growing connection highlights the ocean’s powerful role in shaping climate and weather systems. What Are Marine Heatwaves? Marine heatwaves refer to prolonged periods during which sea surface temperatures…
