India likely to see below-normal rainfall in second half of monsoon: IMD
India's monsoon rainfall for August and September is predicted to be below normal. The India Meteorological Department forecasts precipitation at ninety-four percent of the long-period average. Rainfall across the country in August is also expected to remain below normal levels. This period is critical for the kharif cropping season's progress. The outlook indicates a weaker rainfall pattern during the latter monsoon half.
