Monsoon (The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions)
Monsoon
rains are set to arrive in India, with Kerala receiving the first showers on
May 29, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Friday.
India
is set to get a normal monsoon this year, with average rainfall likely to be 97
per cent -- essential for the economy.
The
southwest monsoon will mark the beginning of the rainy season. As it progresses
northward, the heat marred region will experience relief from scorching summer,
Met said.
"The
southwest monsoon is expected to set in over Kerala on May 29 with a model
error of plus-minus four days," IMD said.
In
2017, the average seasonal rainfall over northwest India was 95 per cent, in
central India 106 per cent, in southern peninsula 92 per cent and in northeast
India 89 per cent.
Over
50 percent of the Indian population is dependent on agriculture and allied
sectors. The maximum area under cultivation depends on rain.
Earlier
in April, IMD said that India was set to get a normal monsoon this year, with
average rainfall likely to be 97 per cent. The prediction stands at a moderate
error estimated of plus-minus 5 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA).
A
figure between 96 to 104 percent is considered normal monsoon. Monsoon season
normally extends from June 1 to September 30.
In
2017, India got the first showers through the southwest monsoon on May
30. The Total Investment & Insurance
