The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted above-normal rainfall for June 2025, projecting precipitation at 108% of the Long-Period Average (LPA) of 166.9 mm. This forms part of an overall seasonal forecast estimating 106% of the LPA for the June–September monsoon period. The anticipated rainfall is crucial for India’s agriculture sector, which relies heavily on monsoonal rain due to limited irrigation coverage. Adequate rainfall will support crop yields, water reservoirs, and economic stability. However, some regions in the southern peninsula, northwest, and northeast may witness below-normal rainfall, the IMD noted. (Hindustan Times)
