It was a good news the government couldn’t wait to share. Amid prevailing drought and severe drinking water crisis in many parts of the country, the meteorological department Tuesday said this year’s monsoon season was likely to bring very good rainfall. In its first forecast for this monsoon season, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said rainfall in the four-month period of June to September was likely to be 106 per cent of the long period average (LPA). This LPA, the average of monsoon rain over the 50-year period from 1951 to 2001, comes to 89 cm and is considered normal. So this season, the country as a whole is likely to receive about 94 cm of rainfall. - See more at: [ Ссылка ] Indian Express, The Indian Express Newspaper, The Indian Express, Indian express news, indian express editorial Today's Indian Express newspaper offers a comprehensive package of news, including Indian Express editorial analysis and Indian Express analysis today.
