According to IMD, a collision between 96 % and 104 % of the 50 -year -old diameter of 87 cm are considered “normal”.
Precipitation less than 90 % of the long -term average is considered to be a “shortage”; between 90 % and 95 % are “below normal”; Between 105 % and 110 % are “above normal”; And more than 110 percent are considered “excess” clotting.
The monsoon is essential for the Indian agricultural sector, which supports a living of about 42.3 % of the population and contributes 18.2 % on the Earth’s GDP. It is also vital to complement the tanks critical for the production of drinking water and energy throughout the country.
