The time for monsoon to end in India is coming.
However, its effect is expected to remain till the end of September. Usually the monsoon starts receding from 17 September and goes away completely by 15 October.
However, these dates are not fixed and keep changing. For example, last year the monsoon started receding from 25 September.
A similar pattern is being seen this year as well. In such a situation, there are chances of the monsoon being longer. Till September 7, the country has recorded 8% more rainfall than the average, but its distribution is uneven in some states.
Rajasthan has received 57% more rain than was required. On the other hand, the average rainfall in Manipur has been 30% less, which is a danger signal for the water level and farmers.
Due to the diversity in the climate of India, there is no uniformity in the rainfall here. It can be divided into five important categories.
Very less rain (-99 to -60 percent), less rain (-59 to -20 percent), normal (-19 to 19 percent), more rain (20 to 60 percent) and more rain (60 to 99 percent). Talking about this year, no state has received either less or more rain.
However, there has been a decrease in rainfall in some states. Manipur has received minus 30 percent less rainfall than the average, Bihar has received minus 26 percent, Punjab has received minus 23 percent and Jammu and Kashmir has received minus 20 percent less rainfall. Meanwhile, Himachal Pradesh has received minus 21 percent and Arunachal Pradesh has received minus 22 percent less rainfall.
Some other states have received normal but below average rainfall. Uttar Pradesh has received minus 14 percent less rainfall than the average, Assam has received minus 13 percent, Haryana and Kerala have received minus 10 percent less rainfall.
Apart from this, the situation is similar in Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Mizoram and Meghalaya. On the other hand, Delhi is on the verge of heavy rain.
There has been 19 percent more rainfall than the average here. While Madhya Pradesh is also in the same category with 7 percent more rainfall. On the contrary, abundant rainfall was recorded in many states.
Rajasthan leads the way with 57 per cent excess rainfall, followed by Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, both with 51 per cent.
