New Delhi: India is expected to experience normal monsoon from June to September this year, the private forecaster Skymet Weather said on Tuesday, suggesting potential benefits for agricultural production, country demand and overall economic growth.
The outlook, which comes in the middle of the reports of the above temperatures in several parts of the country, has the pleasure of the agricultural community and the creators of politicians.
Skymet expects good enough rains over western and southern India. The Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh monsoon raind zones will receive the corresponding precipitation. Excess rainfall is probably all over Western Ghats, Kerala, Coast Karnataka and Goa. Furthermore, the northeast region and the hilly states of northern India are likely to receive less than normal precipitation.

Skymet expects the upcoming Monsoon to be “normal” up to 103% (gives or takes 5%) from the long -term diameter (LPA) 868.6 mm to June to September. Normal span is 96-104% LPA.
The phenomenon of the weather La Niña, which could lead to a normal Indian monsoon, was weak and short and now began to disappear, explained Jatin Singh, CEO of Symet. The occurrence of El Niño – unusual warming of surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, which usually disrupts the monsoon – said.
Enso-Neutral-Stav balance at the sea temperature-is probably the most important category during the Indian summer monsoon, he said.
Member of Niti Aayog Ramesh Chand said he would wait for the official Indian meteorological department (IMD) to assess the consequences of collision for agricultural production. He added: “If Monsoon is normal, the growth of agriculture production will speed up, and given its link with the rest of the economy, it will benefit from the non -agricultural part of the economy.”
“In addition, normal monsoon will help keep food inflation below 4%. Also normal monsoon would also bring the best result for rice production. We are already rice-surplus. With strengthened rice production, it could plan export.

According to official estimates of the Ministry of Statistics published in February, it is assumed that agriculture production increased by 4.6% in FY25, from 2.7% in the previous year, because the year benefited from normal monsoon showers and was marked by the absence of adverse weather events.
Robust growth in the largest economy sector – which represents 18% gross value added in the economy at current prices and also relies on 55% of the total labor force in the country – is decisive for rural economics, demand for goods and services, use of capacities in factories and new investments in the private sector production. Economic survey 2024-25 assumed that the economy would increase between 6.3% and 6.8% in FY26.
On Tuesday, the conditions of the wave prevailed in most places with heavy conditions of thermal wool in many pockets over West Rajasthan, IMD reported in its temperature state and warning of the waves.
