After giving relatively good rains over large parts of the country over the past ten days, the south-west monsoon is all set to go into a lull for at least the next four to five days.

Speaking to The Hindu , Director General of India Meteorological Department, L.S. Rathore said, “The axis of the monsoon is shifting close to the foothills of the Himalayas. Consequently, rains would be confined mainly to the west coast, the north-east, east India and Gangetic plains, at least for the next four to five days.”

The new development means that over large parts of the country, there could be substantial erosion in the gains made over the past 10 days. As of Thursday evening, the all-India cumulative rainfall since the beginning of the season was still deficient by 22 per cent.

In terms of geographical area of the country, this, however, translated to 62 per cent of the area facing a deficiency of over 20 per cent.

The scenario is particularly worrisome for Punjab, Gujarat, and western Rajasthan, which continue to have rainfall deficits of 70 per cent.

The situation is somewhat better in areas like northern and southern interior Karnataka, western Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry region, Rayalaseema, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Uttarakhand, Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir where the deficits range from 20 to 60 per cent.

The only areas where there could be some improvements would be Haryana-Chandigarh-Delhi, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal and Bihar. These areas currently face a deficit between 30 per cent and 70 per cent.
