New Delhi: The national weather agency has predicted above-normal rain over eastern, central and northwestern India between July 19 and 25 amid concerns that one-third of the country has received deficient rainfall so far this monsoon season.

Rainfall data released by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday show that swathes of eastern and northern India have rainfall deficits, ranging from 23 per cent below normal in Bengal to 46 per cent below normal in Uttar Pradesh.

The IMD's cumulative analysis of rainfall between June 1 and July 11 has shown that 34 per cent of India's land area has received deficient rainfall, defined as 20 to 59 per cent below normal.

Crop weather specialists say the rainfall patterns over the next two to three weeks will be critical for paddy, India's key summer crop.

"We still have time: the rains can make up for the deficit over the next two weeks," Sita Ram Mishra, an agro-meteorologist at the Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad, said.

"But without adequate rainfall during the rest of July, we may need to look to contingency planning in some parts of the country."

Crop contingency plans may include recommendations that farmers plant short-duration paddy varieties or alternative crops.

The IMD said on Friday that a low-pressure area was very likely to form over the northern Bay of Bengal over the next 24 hours, with a second low-pressure area expected on July 19.

Rainfall is likely to be normal in eastern, central and northern India and the west coast over the next one week, it said. But under the influence of the fresh low-pressure area, the week starting July 19 is likely to bring "above normal rainfall" over northwestern, central and eastern India.
