&lt;em&gt;Minimum temperatures are likely to come down by 2-3 degrees Celsius in Northwest, Central and Western India over the next 48 hours, the IMD said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current spell of rain in North and Central India will be beneficial to the standing rabi crop, especially wheat, though there are concerns over chana (chickpea) and masur (lentil) that are in the maturity or harvesting stages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;This rain is very good for wheat in Punjab, Haryana and much of northern India, as were the showers around January 25,&amp;rdquo; said G P Singh, director of the Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research at Karnal, Haryana. &amp;ldquo;The crop here is in the pre-flowering stage, and the rain will help bring down temperatures, and provide much-needed water.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported fairly widespread precipitation across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions on Sunday night and Monday due to the interaction of western disturbances (cyclonic storms originating in the Mediterranean) and low-level easterlies, which also brought snowfall in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minimum temperatures are likely to come down by 2-3 degrees Celsius in Northwest, Central and Western India over the next 48 hours, the IMD said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until last week, both maximum and minimum temperatures were at above normal levels in most wheat-growing areas. The flowering (transfer of pollen from the male to female parts of the flower) of the crop in northern and northwestern India happens towards the last week of February, which ends with seed setting, and is followed by the &amp;ldquo;dough&amp;rdquo;, or grain-filling, stage from mid-March. It helps if temperatures are low throughout this period. Even in the grain-filling stage, day temperatures should not ideally cross the low 30s, so that the starch material accumulates gradually in the kernel for it to become hard and ripe for harvesting from mid-April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, grain-filling has already started, and the wheat will be ready for harvesting by early March. &amp;ldquo;Light showers aren&amp;rsquo;t a problem for the crop there at this point. But heavy rain is certainly not welcome,&amp;rdquo; Singh said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pritam Hanjra, a farmer from Urlana Khurd village in Haryana&amp;rsquo;s Panipat district, said the rain will prolong the winter, and save one out of the four irrigations he would have otherwise had to give.&lt;br /&gt;

The current spell of rain in North and Central India will be beneficial to the standing rabi crop, especially wheat, though there are concerns over chana (chickpea) and masur (lentil) that are in the maturity or harvesting stages.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Minimum temperatures are likely to come down by 2-3 degrees Celsius in Northwest, Central and Western India over the next 48 hours, the IMD said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The current spell of rain in North and Central India will be beneficial to the standing rabi crop, especially wheat, though there are concerns over chana (chickpea) and masur (lentil) that are in the maturity or harvesting stages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;This rain is very good for wheat in Punjab, Haryana and much of northern India, as were the showers around January 25,&amp;rdquo; said G P Singh, director of the Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research at Karnal, Haryana. &amp;ldquo;The crop here is in the pre-flowering stage, and the rain will help bring down temperatures, and provide much-needed water.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported fairly widespread precipitation across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions on Sunday night and Monday due to the interaction of western disturbances (cyclonic storms originating in the Mediterranean) and low-level easterlies, which also brought snowfall in Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minimum temperatures are likely to come down by 2-3 degrees Celsius in Northwest, Central and Western India over the next 48 hours, the IMD said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until last week, both maximum and minimum temperatures were at above normal levels in most wheat-growing areas. The flowering (transfer of pollen from the male to female parts of the flower) of the crop in northern and northwestern India happens towards the last week of February, which ends with seed setting, and is followed by the &amp;ldquo;dough&amp;rdquo;, or grain-filling, stage from mid-March. It helps if temperatures are low throughout this period. Even in the grain-filling stage, day temperatures should not ideally cross the low 30s, so that the starch material accumulates gradually in the kernel for it to become hard and ripe for harvesting from mid-April.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, grain-filling has already started, and the wheat will be ready for harvesting by early March. &amp;ldquo;Light showers aren&amp;rsquo;t a problem for the crop there at this point. But heavy rain is certainly not welcome,&amp;rdquo; Singh said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pritam Hanjra, a farmer from Urlana Khurd village in Haryana&amp;rsquo;s Panipat district, said the rain will prolong the winter, and save one out of the four irrigations he would have otherwise had to give.&lt;br /&gt;

The current spell of rain in North and Central India will be beneficial to the standing rabi crop, especially wheat, though there are concerns over chana (chickpea) and masur (lentil) that are in the maturity or harvesting stages.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;This rain is very good for wheat in Punjab, Haryana and much of northern India, as were the showers around January 25,&rdquo; said G P Singh, director of the Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research at Karnal, Haryana. &ldquo;The crop here is in the pre-flowering stage, and the rain will help bring down temperatures, and provide much-needed water.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported fairly widespread precipitation across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra&rsquo;s Vidarbha and Marathwada regions on Sunday night and Monday due to the interaction of western disturbances (cyclonic storms originating in the Mediterranean) and low-level easterlies, which also brought snowfall in Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.<br />
<br />
Minimum temperatures are likely to come down by 2-3 degrees Celsius in Northwest, Central and Western India over the next 48 hours, the IMD said.<br />
<br />
Until last week, both maximum and minimum temperatures were at above normal levels in most wheat-growing areas. The flowering (transfer of pollen from the male to female parts of the flower) of the crop in northern and northwestern India happens towards the last week of February, which ends with seed setting, and is followed by the &ldquo;dough&rdquo;, or grain-filling, stage from mid-March. It helps if temperatures are low throughout this period. Even in the grain-filling stage, day temperatures should not ideally cross the low 30s, so that the starch material accumulates gradually in the kernel for it to become hard and ripe for harvesting from mid-April.<br />
<br />
In Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, grain-filling has already started, and the wheat will be ready for harvesting by early March. &ldquo;Light showers aren&rsquo;t a problem for the crop there at this point. But heavy rain is certainly not welcome,&rdquo; Singh said.<br />
<br />
Pritam Hanjra, a farmer from Urlana Khurd village in Haryana&rsquo;s Panipat district, said the rain will prolong the winter, and save one out of the four irrigations he would have otherwise had to give.<br />

Beyond the News: Why light showers now bring good news for farmers -Harish Damodaran
