Monsoon is lifeblood of $3tr Indian economy, delivers 70pc of the rain needed to water its farms
NEW DELHI/LAHORE – India will receive heavy monsoon rains at the tail end of the four-month season, the chief of the weather office said on Tuesday, bringing farmers succour after the driest August in more than a century hit some summer crops amid higher food prices.
"We can see new circulations and low-pressure areas over many parts of the country, so there are no symptoms of monsoon withdrawal at this stage," he said. "It's going to be delayed."It means delay in monsoon withdrawal may also have effects on Pakistan, producing more rains in the country. But if the monsoon current continue reaching Pakistan with rains in the cotton belt – southern Punjab and Sindh – then it can adversely affect the crop yield.
As far as India is concerned, Reuters quoted Mohapatra as saying that most rice areas except some eastern regions would get good rains, he said. The weather office defines average, or normal, rainfall as ranging between 96pc and 104pc of the 50-year average of 87 cm for the season.But an active phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation - a moving system of wind, cloud and pressure that circles the equator - helped bring good rains in July and September, Mohapatra said.
"The correction is not complete, and more is expected to drive down retail inflation in its September reading," the central bank said.
