What happened to Monsoon this year?
Monsoon rains reached Keraly and the southern part of the Indian mainland at the end of May. This has been the earliest start of rains since 2009. Monsoon reached the bombi at about the same time, the oldest start in 35 years. Heavy showers in May and early June have already caused floods in Mumbai, Pune, Bengalur and the northeastern states where the rains triggered landslides. Pre-Monsoon showers in Delhi led to the most modern urban flower in more than a hundred years, flooded the streets and stopped life. This year, the Government Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted a normal monsoon for the country.
So why did his progress stop?
Weak weather conditions were stopped by monsoons in the western region in Mumbai and East India near West Bengal, IMD officials told the media. Low -pressure systems over the Bay of Bengal and the Arab Sea draw southwest monsoon winds to the north and bring rain all over the country. These systems were stronger last month than usual, which caused early rains. Now both weakened and left the northern India and the interiors of the deccan plateau dry. This caused thermal waves in northern and northwest India; Delhi recorded his hottest day of the year, although the intensity of rains in Mumbai decreased.

How will the rain behave, continue?
IMD says Monsoon is likely to continue its normal trajectory from this week, because Western disorders and low -pressure systems are built over Bengal and northwest. Despite the delay, the monsoon is not too late; The rain covers the middle and northern India between June 15 and 30. However, waves of heat are also predicted.
What is the general impact of early rains?
Hard before the monsoon rains caused large cities flooded in the west, south and northeastern India, where landslides occurred. In March, they also brought relief from record high temperatures and thermal waves in Odisha, Jharkhand, UP and Rajasthan a month earlier. While early rains help reduce heat burden, they also disrupt the cultivation and harvesting of crops in a peninsula India such as mango, banana and onions. In addition, early rain injured the peak of the summer sale of consumer goods, including air conditioning.

How will consumer demand affect?
India is fighting to slow down demand, especially in urban areas where prices are rising, but income is not and forces people to limit discretional expenses. Rural demand is better and gives hope to consumers and car companies. But without normal rains, the revenue on the farm will suffer, which further misses the situation of demand. Companies such as Hul, ITC and Tata Consumer have already showed the growth of the volume of FY25. These companies, together with car manufacturers, will need good rain to return the sale to the track.
