Grim monsoon forecast: Below-normal rainfall in northeast this month likely to trouble farmers
G uwahati: There is an ominous sign for farmers in most parts of the northeast as deficit rainfall was recorded in the first month of the monsoon in June in four out of seven NE states. The IMD has predicted below-normal rainfall in July for the northeastern region. According to the probabilistic forecast of the rainfall during July, issued by the IMD on Monday, while most parts of the country are likely to experience normal to above-normal rainfall, most parts of the northeast are likely to receive below-normal rainfall. Prof Rajib Lochan Deka of the agricultural meteorology department of Assam Agricultural University said, "Mid-June to mid-July is very crucial for transplanting rice seedlings. If the rainfall-deficient situation continues in July, rice production in most parts of Assam and the northeast is likely to be impacted negatively." In Assam, he said that rainfall during the first month of the monsoon 2025 (June) was deficient. "It was largely deficient in Dibrugarh, Golaghat, Baksa, Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Bajali, and Goalpara, where the departure from normal rainfall varied from 62% to 72%," Deka added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Despite rain wreaking havoc in most parts of the northeast, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and Manipur recorded deficient rainfall between June 1 and July 1.
