Monsoon has been playing a vital role in the economic well being of this country. A large proportion of population depend on it for direct & indirect employment and thus incomes. failure in the right amount of rain derails the life of a farmer beyond imagination as they invest on a variety of inputs and fail to reap harvest. the increased number of farm suicides in many states of India is an indicator of the distress in rural areas of our country. and long term approach to farming, living within ones means and not spending too excessively on social or other occasions, not depending on a single crop or type, focus on multiple incomes have etc been suggested for rural populace. . indian administrators should look into this major cause of concern and help the country and farmers come out of this complex scenario as this is also linked to indian economic growth and stability of society..

PUNE: The current weak phase of the monsoon has adversely affected the country's rainfall quota from June 1 to July 7. Poor or no rainfall activity in parts of the country has shrunk the additional rainfall quota recorded in June. The country recorded a -2% deficiency in rainfall.
Central India is the worst affected with a deficit of -5%. Rainfall here in the second half of June was so good that the region had recorded the highest surplus in comparison to other regions.

A met department official told TOI that some rain can be expected in central India in the next few days, especially in parts of east central India like Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, east Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. However, Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada can only expect isolated rainfall in the next few days. "The offshore trough is not well manifested causing weak rainfall activity. This part of the monsoon generally has a well-established offshore trough along with other systems, which seems to be missing this time," the official said.
G P Sharma, vice-president, meteorology, at Skymet Weather Services, told TOI that though conditions may improve for other parts of the country in terms of rainfall activity over the next one week, south peninsula, Maharashtra and Gujarat may not see much rainfall at least during the first half of July.

"The southwest monsoon is going through a weak phase since the beginning of July, because of the typhoons in the western Pacific. They have a great bearing over the flow of the monsoon current over the Indian seas," he added. From July 8 to 14 however, monsoon will gain strength over coastal Maharashtra including Mumbai, Sharma said.
A met office forecast on Wednesday said the southwest monsoon has been active over Jharkhand and Bihar but subdued over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, west Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Vidarbha, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rayalaseema and interior Karnataka. A recent Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) extended range forecast said the forecast during July indicates that there will be absence of large scale monsoon system resulting in below normal rainfall.
