The article also blames high amounts of glacial melt (to the point of bursting through glacial dams) sending a lot of extra water through waterways in a short amount of time.

With all due respect why are Glaciers melting in August.. or July or June. April and May are hot as hell in Indian Subcontinent.

edit: glaciers melt in summer, I am surprised why they are melting in rainy season. No matter how you vote, just explain why this odd behavior.

Why is that odd? Ice melts when it's warm.

Because you would have signs of glacial melt ahead of time. You would know in may if not June. Not in end of august.
