Operation Surya Hope was the Indian Army’s Central Command response to the June 2013 North India floods in Uttarakhand. [1] The Uttarakhand flood was caused by record off-season monsoon rains, cloud burst, floods, flash floods, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which were possibly induced by climate change. [2]
At 4 °C an extremely wet monsoon which currently has a 1 in 100 year's chance will occur in every 10 years by 2100. Extremes in maximum and minimum temperatures and precipitation will increase particularly over western coast and central and north-east India. [19] The dry years are expected to be drier and wet years wetter due to Climate Change.
The flood also posed a threat to public health and safety due to water-borne diseases and electrocution.

More than 5,700 people were presumed dead. [9]
