Friends, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has recently released an update about the southwest monsoon, stating that the monsoon will be active again by mid-June and there is a possibility of good rains in central and eastern India by June 18. Let us tell you that this year the monsoon knocked in Kerala on 24 May, but its speed had slowed down for the last few days. However, now the Meteorological Department has predicted that the speed of monsoon will increase in the northeastern states from June 10 and in South India from June 11. This news is very important for the farmers, because good rains will accelerate the sowing of major Kharif season crops like pulses, oilseeds, cotton and coarse grains. Apart from this, the IMD has predicted 106% of normal rainfall in the period from June to September, which is a positive sign for agriculture and the economy. Now let us try to know according to the information given by the Meteorological Department, what will be the weather conditions in which states in the coming days.

Further estimation

Friends, if we talk about the monsoon situation so far, then according to the Meteorological Department, between June 1 and June 6, there has been 3% less rainfall than normal across the country. The reason for this is said to be dry winds in the western regions, due to which the progress of the monsoon was halted. However, now meteorologists believe that the monsoon will intensify again by mid-June and by June 18 it will reach central India and eastern states. The IMD has also said that the rainfall in June may be “good to better” (more than 108% of LPA), which will prove to be very beneficial for agriculture. According to the forecast, rain activities will increase in the northeastern states from June 10 and in South India from June 11.

Farmers will get benefit

Friends, if the weather department’s forecast proves to be correct, then it will be a matter of great happiness for the farmers because if it rains at this time, the sowing of Kharif crops will accelerate. And at the same time, the level of reservoirs will increase, which will reduce the problem of irrigation. Apart from this, common people will get relief from heat, especially in North India where there is an outbreak of heatwave.

Heatwave warning in northern India

Friends, IMD has issued a heatwave warning for several states in North India such as Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Southern Uttar Pradesh and Northern Madhya Pradesh between June 10 and 12. During this period, the temperature may rise above 45°C, which may lead to heatwaves and increase health problems.

Weather forecast for the next 24 hours

Friends, according to the forecast for the next 24 hours, the Meteorological Department has issued an alert of heavy rain in Northeast India (Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh), Madhya Maharashtra, Konkan and Goa and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Apart from this, light to moderate rain may occur in coastal Karnataka, Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. If we talk about Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and South Gujarat, then there is a possibility of thunderstorms here. Apart from this, the maximum temperature will gradually increase in Western Himalayas, North-West India, Central India and East India.

Weather for the last 24 hours

Friends, during the last 24 hours, heavy rain was recorded at some places in West Bengal. Apart from this, light to moderate rain occurred in Northeast India, Jharkhand, Bihar. Rainfall was also recorded in Maharashtra, coastal Karnataka, Kerala. But heat persisted in some parts of North India, Haryana and Rajasthan, due to which the temperature went above 45 degrees Celsius.

Impact of monsoon on agriculture sector

Farmer friends, the effect of better monsoon activities will also affect the agriculture sector. Therefore, farmers are advised to sow seeds only after seeing the forecast of rain. Keep in mind the moisture of the soil in the sown crop, if the rain is late then make alternative arrangements for irrigation. Apart from this, according to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of more rain than normal this time, so farmers are advised to get crop insurance, so that seasonal uncertainties can be avoided. If this prediction of the Meteorological Department proves to be correct, then good yield can be expected in the Kharif season this year. Farmers should keep an eye on the weather updates and plan their farming in time.
