Monsoon in India: Skymet forecasts a normal monsoon for India from June to September, with regions like south, west, and northwest expected to receive sufficiently good rains. However, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal may face a risk of deficit rainfall. The transition from El Nino to La Nina could impact the season s onset but favor a favorable monsoon.
Scientists at the India Meteorological Department (IMD) have also detected early signs of a favourable monsoon season this year with fading El Nino conditions and reduced snow cover over Eurasia. The Met office will issue a monsoon forecast later this month.
The transition to ENSO-neutral conditions is anticipated by April-June, with most models indicating a transition to La Nina by July-September. | Latest News India
