&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Rainfall in the entire country in August has seen a deficit of 23% so far, according to IMD data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A patch of red signifying deficit rains, cutting across the length of India from Haryana in the north to Kerala in the south, is threatening to worsen farm distress, shows rainfall data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The June to September south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&amp;rsquo;s crop area was forecast to be above normal, but till 16 August has seen a 4% deficit compared to the 50-year mean or long period average (LPA). So far, in over a quarter of the country&amp;rsquo;s area comprising 10 of the 36 meteorological subdivisions, the deficit is at least 20% or more. Meanwhile, excess rains leading to floods in Gujarat, Assam and Bihar has led to loss of lives and crops. Data from IMD further shows that while rainfall for the entire country in June and July was 4% and 1.7% above normal, respectively, rainfall during August, a critical period for agriculture, has seen a deficit of 23% so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deficit rains may not impact overall foodgrain production, farmers in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka say the ongoing dry spell will lead to large losses as crops like soybean, pulses, cotton and millets are facing severe moisture stress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data from IMD shows that in Marathwada and Vidarbha regions of Maharashtra, farm suicide hot spots, the seasonal deficit is 30% and 31%, respectively. In Kerala, and northern and southern interior Karnataka regions, the rainfall deficit is 29%, 21% and 30%, respectively, compared to the normal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In eastern Madhya Pradesh, home to subsistence farmers of Bundelkhand region, the deficit is 21%, while in western Madhya Pradesh, a comparatively prosperous region where farmers have been protesting since June demanding loan waivers and higher crop prices, the rainfall deficit is 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even in northern Indian states, in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, the deficits are 24%, 33% and 15%, respectively, implying farmers are incurring higher fuel costs to water their crops.&lt;br /&gt;

So far, in over a quarter of the country&amp;rsquo;s area comprising 10 of the 36 meteorological subdivisions, the deficit is at least 20% or more. Meanwhile, excess rains leading to floods in Gujarat, Assam and Bihar has led to loss of lives and crops. Data from IMD further shows that while rainfall for the entire country in June and July was 4% and 1.7% above normal, respectively, rainfall during August, a critical period for agriculture, has seen a deficit of 23% so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While deficit rains may not impact overall foodgrain production, farmers in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka say the ongoing dry spell will lead to large losses as crops like soybean, pulses, cotton and millets are facing severe moisture stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Data from IMD shows that in Marathwada and Vidarbha regions of Maharashtra, farm suicide hot spots, the seasonal deficit is 30% and 31%, respectively. In Kerala, and northern and southern interior Karnataka regions, the rainfall deficit is 29%, 21% and 30%, respectively, compared to the normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In eastern Madhya Pradesh, home to subsistence farmers of Bundelkhand region, the deficit is 21%, while in western Madhya Pradesh, a comparatively prosperous region where farmers have been protesting since June demanding loan waivers and higher crop prices, the rainfall deficit is 20%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in northern Indian states, in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, the deficits are 24%, 33% and 15%, respectively, implying farmers are incurring higher fuel costs to water their crops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/tRmNPYElGMWkVQxwbjE9oN/Southwest-monsoon-deficit-could-worsen-farm-distress.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/tRmNPYElGMWkVQxwbjE9oN/Southwest-monsoon-deficit-could-worsen-farm-distress.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;Rainfall in the entire country in August has seen a deficit of 23% so far, according to IMD data&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;A patch of red signifying deficit rains, cutting across the length of India from Haryana in the north to Kerala in the south, is threatening to worsen farm distress, shows rainfall data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The June to September south-west monsoon which irrigates over half of India&amp;rsquo;s crop area was forecast to be above normal, but till 16 August has seen a 4% deficit compared to the 50-year mean or long period average (LPA). So far, in over a quarter of the country&amp;rsquo;s area comprising 10 of the 36 meteorological subdivisions, the deficit is at least 20% or more. Meanwhile, excess rains leading to floods in Gujarat, Assam and Bihar has led to loss of lives and crops. Data from IMD further shows that while rainfall for the entire country in June and July was 4% and 1.7% above normal, respectively, rainfall during August, a critical period for agriculture, has seen a deficit of 23% so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While deficit rains may not impact overall foodgrain production, farmers in parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka say the ongoing dry spell will lead to large losses as crops like soybean, pulses, cotton and millets are facing severe moisture stress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Data from IMD shows that in Marathwada and Vidarbha regions of Maharashtra, farm suicide hot spots, the seasonal deficit is 30% and 31%, respectively. In Kerala, and northern and southern interior Karnataka regions, the rainfall deficit is 29%, 21% and 30%, respectively, compared to the normal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In eastern Madhya Pradesh, home to subsistence farmers of Bundelkhand region, the deficit is 21%, while in western Madhya Pradesh, a comparatively prosperous region where farmers have been protesting since June demanding loan waivers and higher crop prices, the rainfall deficit is 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even in northern Indian states, in Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, the deficits are 24%, 33% and 15%, respectively, implying farmers are incurring higher fuel costs to water their crops.&lt;br /&gt;
