Weakened Monsoon Ahead? IMD Predicts Below Average Rainfall in Bihar and 4 Other States
India goes to bring the approaching monsoon in the year 2025. It was again a nice promise of rain by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) but not very kind in between. Some states might better expect it to rain on higher measures this year than normally. On the contrary, some parts of Bihar face the sight of not very encouraging monsoon activities and therefore shrinks agriculture concerns falling on the shoulders of farmers.
Farm Areas Considering Above Normal Rainfall
Holding forth Mr. Mohapatra, IMD Director General said that the above normal rainfall possibility has been put at 33 percent for the coming season with normal rainfall having a 30 percent probability and the possibility of excessive rainfall being perceived at 26 percent.
This type of subsequent high rainfall forecast sounds very promising for farmers in most central and eastern zones of India. Higher thanaverage monsoon showers are expected to be received in such states as Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. Thus the essential sowing and harvesting will benefit from it in terms of productivity for most hectares.
About 42 percent of the land of the country nourishes its people’s possible population and about 18 percent in GDP comes from agriculture by subjecting itself to a dependency of 8500 million tons of land. Rains are complete to produce crops and to the economy for food prices, water resources and rural employment.
Rise in Concern About Less Monsoons in Bihar and Neighboring States
The IMD forecast early on had a bright spot for many. It comes with the sure ill tidings for some others. This includes parts of Bihar and a few bordering states. Analyzing the early data coming from the IMD the quiet melody of a subdued pattern for the monsoon is expected in these areas, which is very likely to interfere in the sowing cycle and then will be further leading to water stresses in case lower amounts of rain fall during critical growing periods.
How IMD Measures Rainfall Levels
According to IMD its measure of rainfall averages over 50 years with benchmark norm valued at 87 cm. Rainfall falling within the band of 96% to 104% from this average would be normal. Deficient would be the rainfall below 90% below normal between 90% and 95% above normal in the range of 105%-110% while anything above 110% would count as excessive.
So despite all the positivity in the weather there is the call to prepare for any misfortune. Most of the country will be under the bounteous rains while some areas will require irrigation support combined with culture management to overcome the odds.
