A study highlights significant warming in the Indian Ocean, which could lead to severe weather changes and natural disasters.

The region is particularly vulnerable as it is densely populated, with a third of the world's population at risk from natural hazards.

Northwestern Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea, is experiencing a notable rise in seawater temperatures, threatening marine life and coastal economies.

There is an anticipated increase in extreme weather conditions, such as intense cyclones and heavy rainfall, due to the warming ocean.

Changes in the Indian Ocean Dipole climate pattern may affect the monsoon seasons, crucial for countries like India.

The study calls for urgent action to reduce carbon emissions and implement climate adaptation strategies to counteract the warming effects.
