Monsoon in Maharashtra in 2-3 DaysThe monsoon, which was in Kerala for two days, has now moved forward. On Sunday, it entered Tamil Nadu, parts of Karnataka, parts of Andhra Pradesh, and eastern states. For the next two to three days, a favorable environment has been created for the onset of monsoon in Maharashtra. Also, the temperature in Vidarbha has dropped slightly and rain has been predicted in many parts of the state. This year, the monsoon arrived ahead of time. The monsoon, which entered Kerala two days ago, had not moved forward. It made a big move on Sunday.
"Farmers should sow after good rains. Paddy production will be better due to more rainfall in Konkan, but due to less rainfall in Marathwada, crops should be planted in less water. It is necessary to produce varieties of crops that will give good yields even in low water. " - Dr. Ramchandra Sable, senior agricultural meteorologist
