&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;India received below-normal monsoon this year, with the season ending on a 5.2% deficit on Saturday. While 50% of the country&#039;s districts have had normal rains, more than a third &amp;mdash; 215 districts &amp;mdash; are left with deficient rainfall, which could impact the kharif crop to an extent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;below-normal monsoon&#039;, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), is when countrywide rains in the season are 90-96% of the long period average (LPA). It is a category above &#039;deficient monsoon&#039;, when rains are below 90% of LPA (as in the drought years of 2014 and 2015).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of the districts in rain distress this year are in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Vidarbha and surrounding areas, which were the hardest hit by an unexpected dip in rainfall in the second half of the season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the first half (June-July) posted a 2.5% rain surplus, August and September had a combined deficit of 12.5%. The Met department attributes the monsoon&#039;s failure in these months to a combination of factors that came into play together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A number of storms originated in the northwest Pacific in August, which reduced rain activity over the Indian subcontinent. Conditions in the Indian Ocean too did not boost rainfall during this period,&amp;quot; said D Sivananda Pai, head of long range forecasting at IMD. In terms of India&#039;s four regions, the northwest had the maximum rain deficit of 10%, followed by central with 6%, and east and northeast with 4%. Rains were normal in south India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government&#039;s first advance estimate of this year&#039;s kharif crop reflects the monsoon&#039;s below-par performance, with the estimated production pegged 2.8% below last year&#039;s. A normal monsoon in 2016 had led to record foodgrain production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The comparison with last year, when overall rains were better by just over two percentage points, is interesting. While 10 out of the 36 subdivisions in the country had deficient rains in 2016 &amp;mdash; as compared to six this year &amp;mdash; there were fewer districts with large rain shortfall. The number of districts with deficient or very deficient rain stood at 199 last year, while this year the number is 215. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The comparison with last year, when overall rains were better by just over two percentage points, is interesting. While 10 out of the 36 subdivisions in the country had deficient rains in 2016 &amp;mdash; as compared to six this year &amp;mdash; there were fewer districts with large rain shortfall. The number of districts with deficient or very deficient rain stood at 199 last year, while this year the number is 215. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;India received below-normal monsoon this year, with the season ending on a 5.2% deficit on Saturday. While 50% of the country&#039;s districts have had normal rains, more than a third &amp;mdash; 215 districts &amp;mdash; are left with deficient rainfall, which could impact the kharif crop to an extent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &#039;below-normal monsoon&#039;, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), is when countrywide rains in the season are 90-96% of the long period average (LPA). It is a category above &#039;deficient monsoon&#039;, when rains are below 90% of LPA (as in the drought years of 2014 and 2015).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of the districts in rain distress this year are in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Vidarbha and surrounding areas, which were the hardest hit by an unexpected dip in rainfall in the second half of the season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the first half (June-July) posted a 2.5% rain surplus, August and September had a combined deficit of 12.5%. The Met department attributes the monsoon&#039;s failure in these months to a combination of factors that came into play together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A number of storms originated in the northwest Pacific in August, which reduced rain activity over the Indian subcontinent. Conditions in the Indian Ocean too did not boost rainfall during this period,&amp;quot; said D Sivananda Pai, head of long range forecasting at IMD. In terms of India&#039;s four regions, the northwest had the maximum rain deficit of 10%, followed by central with 6%, and east and northeast with 4%. Rains were normal in south India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government&#039;s first advance estimate of this year&#039;s kharif crop reflects the monsoon&#039;s below-par performance, with the estimated production pegged 2.8% below last year&#039;s. A normal monsoon in 2016 had led to record foodgrain production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The comparison with last year, when overall rains were better by just over two percentage points, is interesting. While 10 out of the 36 subdivisions in the country had deficient rains in 2016 &amp;mdash; as compared to six this year &amp;mdash; there were fewer districts with large rain shortfall. The number of districts with deficient or very deficient rain stood at 199 last year, while this year the number is 215. &lt;br /&gt;

While 50% of the country&#039;s districts have had normal rains, more than a third &amp;mdash; 215 districts &amp;mdash; are left with deficient rainfall, which could impact the kharif crop to an extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &#039;below-normal monsoon&#039;, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), is when countrywide rains in the season are 90-96% of the long period average (LPA). It is a category above &#039;deficient monsoon&#039;, when rains are below 90% of LPA (as in the drought years of 2014 and 2015).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of the districts in rain distress this year are in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Vidarbha and surrounding areas, which were the hardest hit by an unexpected dip in rainfall in the second half of the season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the first half (June-July) posted a 2.5% rain surplus, August and September had a combined deficit of 12.5%. The Met department attributes the monsoon&#039;s failure in these months to a combination of factors that came into play together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;A number of storms originated in the northwest Pacific in August, which reduced rain activity over the Indian subcontinent. Conditions in the Indian Ocean too did not boost rainfall during this period,&amp;quot; said D Sivananda Pai, head of long range forecasting at IMD. In terms of India&#039;s four regions, the northwest had the maximum rain deficit of 10%, followed by central with 6%, and east and northeast with 4%. Rains were normal in south India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government&#039;s first advance estimate of this year&#039;s kharif crop reflects the monsoon&#039;s below-par performance, with the estimated production pegged 2.8% below last year&#039;s. A normal monsoon in 2016 had led to record foodgrain production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comparison with last year, when overall rains were better by just over two percentage points, is interesting. While 10 out of the 36 subdivisions in the country had deficient rains in 2016 &amp;mdash; as compared to six this year &amp;mdash; there were fewer districts with large rain shortfall.

<em>NEW DELHI: </em>India received below-normal monsoon this year, with the season ending on a 5.2% deficit on Saturday. While 50% of the country's districts have had normal rains, more than a third &mdash; 215 districts &mdash; are left with deficient rainfall, which could impact the kharif crop to an extent.<br />
<br />
A 'below-normal monsoon', according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), is when countrywide rains in the season are 90-96% of the long period average (LPA). It is a category above 'deficient monsoon', when rains are below 90% of LPA (as in the drought years of 2014 and 2015).<br />
<br />
The majority of the districts in rain distress this year are in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Vidarbha and surrounding areas, which were the hardest hit by an unexpected dip in rainfall in the second half of the season.<br />
<br />
While the first half (June-July) posted a 2.5% rain surplus, August and September had a combined deficit of 12.5%. The Met department attributes the monsoon's failure in these months to a combination of factors that came into play together.<br />
<br />
&quot;A number of storms originated in the northwest Pacific in August, which reduced rain activity over the Indian subcontinent. Conditions in the Indian Ocean too did not boost rainfall during this period,&quot; said D Sivananda Pai, head of long range forecasting at IMD. In terms of India's four regions, the northwest had the maximum rain deficit of 10%, followed by central with 6%, and east and northeast with 4%. Rains were normal in south India.<br />
<br />
The government's first advance estimate of this year's kharif crop reflects the monsoon's below-par performance, with the estimated production pegged 2.8% below last year's. A normal monsoon in 2016 had led to record foodgrain production.<br />
<br />
The comparison with last year, when overall rains were better by just over two percentage points, is interesting. While 10 out of the 36 subdivisions in the country had deficient rains in 2016 &mdash; as compared to six this year &mdash; there were fewer districts with large rain shortfall. The number of districts with deficient or very deficient rain stood at 199 last year, while this year the number is 215. <br />

Monsoon signs off with one-third of districts under rain deficit -Amit Bhattacharya

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: India received below-normal monsoon this year, with the season ending on a 5.2% deficit on Saturday. While 50% of the country's districts have had normal rains, more than a third — 215 districts — are left with deficient rainfall, which could impact the kharif crop to an extent. A 'below-normal monsoon', according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), is when countrywide rains in the season are 90-96% of the long period average (LPA).
