Monsoon India: 43% less clouds than normal in the country, maximum reduction in Central India; Now expectations from July?
Delhi. The pace of monsoon has been very slow in the month of June this year, due to which much less rainfall than normal has been recorded across the country. According to the data of the Meteorological Department, in the month of June this year, overall rainfall in the entire country was 43.1 percent less than normal.
According to the Meteorological Department, only 85.2 mm of actual rainfall has been recorded in the country till June 28, whereas the normal rainfall level for this period should have been 149.8 mm. Barring a few days, the daily average rainfall graph has always remained well below the red mark of normal in the entire month of June.
The condition of Central India is worst
Severe rainfall deficiency has been observed in all the four major parts of the country, the details of which are as follows, the situation in Central India has been most worrying. This area has recorded 56 percent less rainfall than normal. Since mid-June till now, this entire area is continuously facing drought-like conditions. The effect of slowness of monsoon was also seen in East and North-East India and there has been 43 percent less rainfall than normal. Here too the rainfall graph has continuously fallen. 31 percent less rainfall than normal has been recorded here. There was good rainfall here in the beginning of June, but in the second fortnight of the month the monsoon weakened considerably here too. The situation here is a little better compared to other areas, where there has been 29 percent less rainfall than normal. There was more rainfall than normal in the first week of June, but in the subsequent days there was also a decline.
Fear of direct impact on farming
The month of June is about to end and the rain deficiency figure in most parts of the country remains more than 43 percent. Since June rains are considered very important for the sowing of Kharif crops, the possibility of this deficiency having a direct impact on farming has increased significantly. However, it is a matter of relief that meteorologists are hopeful that with the beginning of July, the activity of monsoon will increase again, which will compensate for this shortfall.
