Meanwhile, heavy rainfall across large parts of India has compensated for the June deficit, bringing the overall monsoon precipitation into the surplus category.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted further heavy to very heavy rain over northwest India and the western regions of peninsular India in the next two to three days, as well as in the northeast during the next five days.
India, a major producer of rice, wheat, and sugarcane, had an 11 per cent rainfall deficit in June, with northwest India seeing a 33 per cent deficiency. Heavy rain in early July made up for the loss but caused flooding in many northeastern states.
According to IMD data, India has gotten 214.9 mm of rainfall since the monsoon began on June 1. This is slightly higher than the typical of 213.3 mm. Northwest India and the southern peninsula received 3 per cent and 13 per cent above-normal rainfall, respectively. Heavy rain in the east and northeast has reduced the deficit from 13% on June 30 to zero on July 6. Central India's deficit fell from 14 per cent to 6 per cent over this time.
According to IMD data, 23 per cent of the sub-divisional region had excess rainfall, 67 per cent had regular rainfall, and just 10 per cent had inadequate rainfall.
The monsoon, which began early on May 30 in Kerala and the northeastern region, moved normally up to Maharashtra before losing momentum. This slowed the rains in West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, exacerbating the effects of a heatwave in northwest India. Monsoonal winds stagnated between June 10 and June 18, making modest progress until June 26-27. According to IMD data, the rain-bearing system continued to cover much of northwest India after June 25.
