According to scientists' forecasts, weather shocks await humanity in the spring and summer of 2023.
This is reported in a report by the International Consortium for Monitoring the Water Environment.
What cataclysms to expect
Both droughts and floods will become more frequent this year, according to the report's lead author, Professor Albert van Dijk.
Global warming, the scientist explained, affects the water cycle in cold regions and glaciers.
The professor noted that melting ice has already led to floods in Pakistan.
And this will continue until the glaciers disappear, MIA Rossiya Segodnya quotes van Dijk as saying.
