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.
