While the southwestern monsoon season has largely strengthened for agriculture in reservoirs, it caused confusion in several parts of the country – especially in northern India – led to a loss of lives and property.
Seasonal precipitation over northwest indications, medium indications and southern peninsula were 27%, 15% AO 10% more than their seasonal averages. However, precipitation in eastern and northeastern India was 80% of what these regions usually gain. The collisions above the northwest indications were 74.79 cm, the highest since 2001 and the sixth highest since 1901, while the precipitation above the eastern and northeastern India was 108.9 cm, the second lowest since 1901.
The Ministry’s forecasts – since April and updated in the coming months – have consistently pointed out that seasonal precipitation is “beyond normal” or at least 4% more than a diameter of 87 cm according to the IMD prognosis. Overall, monsoon precipitation was 93.7 cm.
The monsoon season has seen extremely heavy spells in several parts of northern and southern India thanks to the combination of storms that came from the Mediterranean region, along with the monsoon trough, which hover over the Indian mainland during the monsoon season.
When they were analyzed by months, rainfall was 9% more than usual in June, 5% more than in July and August and 15% over it in September.
The southwestern monsoon advanced through the Southern Andaman Sea and Nicobar Islands 13. May 2025, almost nine days before the normal schedule. He arrived in Keraly 24 May before the usual date of the onset of 1 June and covered the whole country until 29 June before the normal date of July 8.

In October, the agency predicts “above normal” rain in the country, with the exception of parts of northern and northwest India.
While it is expected that La Nina is formed in the central Equatorial Pacific Ocean and usually means a stronger winter, IMD CEO M. Mohapatra said that this is not always the case. The forecast for winter (December, January and February) will be available around November, he added.
