Monsoon slips, crops not hit

-The Telegraph

New Delhi:
The 2018 monsoon rainfall may slip slightly below the normal threshold of 96 per cent of the average, the national weather agency indicated on Friday, but predicted that the rainfall distribution during August and September would be "favourable" for farm operations.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted that rainfall during the second half of the four-month rainy season would be 95 per cent of the average, with a 47 per cent probability of below normal rainfall and 41 per cent probability of normal rainfall.

Since the start of the season in June, India as a whole has received about 95 per cent rainfall. The India Meteorological Department's updated forecast for August and September, scientists say, implies that the 2018 seasonal rainfall will be about 95 per cent, or slightly below the 97 per cent or "normal" rainfall predicted by the department earlier this year.

For the four-month season, rainfall 96 to 104 percent of average is labelled as normal. Rainfall below 96 per cent is below normal.
