Only 9 out of 36 meteorological subdivisions, having one-fourth share in India’s geographical area, have reported “normal or higher” rainfall

India's kharif sowing acreage drops 23% due to a 42% deficient monsoon, impacting crop production amid Super El Nino forecasts.

If the June rainfall ends up with 10 cm, the precipitation during July-September period needs to be 68.17 cm, which is still short of 3% of normal for the period

The IMD on Monday said rainfall activity is expected to increase across Maharashtra from July 1 onwards
