NEW DELHI: India is expected to see ‘normal’ monsoon between June and September weather forecasting company Skymet said on April 9.
South, west and northwest regions of India may see ‘sufficiently’ good rains while core monsoon rainfed zone ofMaharashtra and Madhya Pradesh may see adequate rainfall. However, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal will be at risk of deficit rainfall during peak monsoon months of July and August,” Skymet predicted.In the first half of the season, the northeastern states will get ‘less than normal’ rains, it said.
“El Nino is swiftly flipping over to La Nina. And, monsoon circulation inclines to be stronger during La Nina years,” said Jatin Singh, MD, Skymet. Historically, the transition from Super El Nino to strong La Nina has tended to produce a decent monsoon.”
