Monsoon Forecasts Differ Amid Concerns Over Crop Sowing
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated a potential weakening of monsoon rains in western and southern regions, which could impact crop sowing. However, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that monsoon rains are expected to strengthen in July, potentially boosting the crucial kharif crop season. A new study also suggests a significant portion of monsoon rain evaporates before reaching the ground, a factor that could influence weather models.
