IMD also informed that July rains will help wipe out rainfall deficiencies witnessed in June. ‘The monthly rainfall averaged over the country as a whole during July 2023 is most likely to be normal (94 to 106% of LPA) and most probably within the positive side of the normal,’ said IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra.
In June, a total of 16 states and union territories received deficient rainfall. Bihar and Kerala reported deficits at 69% and 60% below normal respectively.
The monsoon season is crucial for India’s economy. Monsoon provides around 70% of the necessary rainfall for the country.
