Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, has fallen hailstorm on Monday.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday that this time the monsoon will be better than normal from June to September. The Meteorological Department (IMD) considers rain between 104 and 110 per cent better than normal. This is a good sign for crops.
IMD chief Mrityunjay Mahapatra said that 2025 may receive 105% i.e. 87 cm of rain. The long period average (LPA) for the 4 -month monsoon season is 868.6 mm i.e. 86.86 cm. That is, there should be so much rain in the monsoon season.
IMD Chief said- The days of heatwaves will increase in May-June IMD Chief Mrityunjay Mohapatra said that this year the conditions of El Nino will not be created. Many parts of the country are still hot. In April and June, the number of heatwaves days will increase. This will increase the pressure on the power grid and there will be a lack of water. 52 percent of the country’s farming region depends on the monsoon.
The monsoon has a decrease in water sources. Water is also necessary for power generation. In such a situation, normal monsoon is news of great relief. Excise scientists say that now there is a shortage of rainy days in the monsoon and heavy rains are increasing. Due to this, there are constant drought and flood conditions.
Good rain is necessary for economy 70% of the total rainfall in the country in the country rains during the monsoon. 70% to 80% of the farmers in the country depend on rain for irrigation of crops. That is, good or poor monsoon has a direct effect on yield. If the monsoon is bad, the crop is produced less, which can increase inflation.
Agriculture sector holds around 20% in the Indian economy. At the same time, the agricultural sector only employs half the population of the country. Good rains mean that the population related to farming may have good income before the festive season. This increases their spending ability, which strengthens the economy.
What is El Nino Al Nino is a climate pattern. In this, the temperature of the sea increases by 3 to 4 degrees. Its effect is twice in 10 years. Due to its effect, there is more rainfall in the area with high rainfall and less rainfall area. Monsoon is often weak due to El Nino in India. Which creates drought conditions.
How correct the monsoon estimate of IMD and Skymet in the last 5 years
Between 2019 and 2023, the Skymet’s estimate was proved to be correct only once in 5 years. In 2023, Skymet estimated 94% rainfall and received the same rainfall that year. IMD estimated 2% lower. In 2021, the IMD estimated 98% and the rainfall was almost equal (99%). At the same time, in 2019, 2020 and 2022, both Skymet and IMD’s forecast was more or less than actual rain.
