The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the southwest monsoon this year is likely to be below normal across the country.
According to the IMD, weather conditions are expected to remain in a neutral phase from April to June. However, there is a high chance of El Niño developing during the monsoon season, which runs from June to September. This development is often associated with reduced rainfall in many regions.
Due to these changing climate patterns, most parts of the country may experience lower-than-usual rainfall during the key agricultural months. The forecast has raised concerns among farmers and sectors dependent on seasonal rains.
The IMD continues to monitor atmospheric conditions closely and will provide further updates as the season approaches.
Experts note that variations in monsoon patterns can have a direct impact on agriculture, water resources, and the overall economy.
The forecast highlights the need for preparedness and careful planning to manage potential challenges arising from reduced rainfall this season.
