This is reassuring news for farmers as the country will receive 99 per cent of the average rainfall this year. Finally, the Indian Meteorological Department's forecast has been released today.

Meanwhile, the Indian Meteorological Department forecast for this year's monsoon from June to September. This prediction has brought good news for the farmers. About 74% of the annual rainfall falls between June and September. It is considered important not only for the farmers but for all the citizens. Farmers are relieved by the forecast of good rains. Because for the last two years, the whole world has been under covid pandemic.

According to the prediction, the monsoon (June to September) is expected to be 98 per cent above average across the country. It has an error margin of more or less five percent.
