Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday, April 4, said the heatwave is likely to prevail over parts of east and peninsular India for the next three days. The heatwave conditions are very likely in isolated pockets of Gangetic West Bengal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam, North Interior Karnataka, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Rayalaseema during April 4-6, the IMD said.

It said the enhanced rainfall/thunderstorms might continue over Northeast India till April 7. Isolated to scattered light/moderate rainfall with thunderstorms and lightning very likely over Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand during April 6-9 and over Bihar on April 7 and 8, the IMD added.

Earlier this week, the IMD said the country is set to experience extreme heat during the April to June period, with the central and western peninsular parts expected to face the worst impact.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra had said above-normal maximum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country during the April-June period, with a high probability over central and western peninsular India.

Normal to below-normal maximum temperatures are likely over some parts of the western Himalayan region, northeastern states, and north Odisha, he said. Above-normal heatwave days are likely over most parts of the plains during this period.

Ten to 20 days of heatwave are expected in different parts of the country against a normal of four to eight days, he added.

Gujarat, central Maharashtra, north Karnataka, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, north Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh are likely to experience the worst impact of heat waves, Mohapatra HAD said.

Over 10% increase in southwest monsoon rainfall in 55% of Indian sub-districts: Study

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

A significant 55% of tehsils or sub-districts across the country have recorded an over 10% increase in the southwest monsoon rainfall in the last decade spanning from 2012 to 2022 due to climate change, according to a new study released on January 17.

Independent think-tank ‘The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW)’, which analysed 40-year rainfall data for more than 4,500 tehsils across India, also found that 11% of the sub-districts saw a reduction in the southwest monsoon rainfall in the last decade.

The tehsils that recorded deficient rain are located in the rain-fed Indo-Gangetic plains, northeast India and the upper Himalayan region. These areas are crucial for India’s agricultural output and contain fragile ecosystems particularly vulnerable to extreme climate events.

Of these tehsils, around 68% experienced rainfall reduction in all months from June to September, while 87% showed a decline during the initial monsoon months of June and July, which are crucial for the sowing of kharif crops.

Nearly a quarter of the tehsils studied in traditionally drier regions such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, central Maharashtra, and parts of Tamil Nadu saw a pronounced rainfall increase of over 30% during the June to September period.

The researchers said 48% tehsils in India saw a more than 10% increase in rainfall in October, which could be due to the delayed withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from the subcontinent.

The study titled “Decoding India’s Changing Monsoon Patterns” attributes the shift in rainfall patterns to the accelerating rate of climate change. It also found that the increased precipitation in these tehsils is the result of frequent short-duration, heavy rainfall events which often lead to flash floods.

For instance, 31 per cent of the tehsils experienced an increase of four or more days of heavy rainfall per year in the last decade (compared to the previous 30 years) during the southwest monsoon.

The monsoons are critical for India’s agricultural landscape, with 52% of the net cultivated area relying on it. It is also crucial for the replenishing of reservoirs critical for drinking water apart from power generation across the country.

Vishwas Chitale, senior programme lead at CEEW, said, “The monsoons impact the food we eat, the water we drink and also our energy transition. CEEW’s study not only maps monsoon variability — both southwest and northeast — over the past 40 years across India but also provides openly accessible tehsil-level rainfall information for decision-makers to assess risks at the local level.

“With increasing extreme weather events, hyper-local climate risk assessments and action plans are the way to go for India to keep leading in climate action and disaster risk reduction. This will help save lives, livelihoods and infrastructure,” he said.

The study also found that the increase in rainfall is not well distributed throughout the seasons and months.

Out of the total tehsils that saw a decrease in southwest monsoon, 87% of them, located in states such as Bihar, Uttarakhand, Assam, and Meghalaya, saw a decline in rainfall during the initial monsoon months of June and July, which are crucial for sowing kharif crops.

On the other hand, 48% of tehsils in India saw an increase in October rainfall by more than 10%, which could be due to the delayed withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from the subcontinent.

This has direct implications for the sowing of rabi crops during this time.

The study also shows changing patterns in the northeast monsoon — from October to December — which is particularly crucial for peninsular India.

The northeast monsoon rainfall has increased by more than 10% in the last decade in around 80% of tehsils in Tamil Nadu, 44% in Telangana, and 39% in Andhra Pradesh.

Odisha and West Bengal on the East Coast and Maharashtra and Goa on the West Coast have seen an increase in rainfall during this period.

Monsoon set to make a comeback in September, says IMD

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

After an unusually dry August, characterized by deficient rainfall, the Southwest Monsoon is poised for a revival in the upcoming weekend, bringing much-needed rain to central and southern regions of India, as confirmed by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday.

Speaking at a virtual press conference, Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, the Director General of IMD, provided insights into the expected weather patterns. “September is likely to witness normal rainfall, ranging between 91-109 percent of the long period average of 167.9 mm,” Mohapatra said.

However, he also pointed out that even if September experiences higher rainfall, the cumulative average for the June-September monsoon season is projected to remain below normal. The root cause of the August drought, he explained, was the emergence of El Niño conditions in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

On a more positive note, Mohapatra highlighted the shift in the Indian Ocean Dipole, which denotes the temperature difference between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. This transition towards a positive phase has the potential to counteract the influence of El Niño, Mohapatra stated.

He went on to elaborate that the Madden Julian Oscillation, a phenomenon marked by the eastward movement of clouds, along with favorable tropical rainfall conditions, is set to contribute to the revival of the monsoon. The anticipation of the monsoon’s return brings a sense of relief to regions that have been grappling with water scarcity and parched landscapes due to the prolonged dry spell.

From rice to palm oil, Asian crops output forecast lower as El Nino strengthens

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

An unusually dry August has taken a toll on cereal and oilseed crops in Asia as El Nino intensified, and forecasts for lower rainfall in September are further threatening to disrupt supplies.

While wheat output forecasts are being revised lower due to dry weather in Australia, the world’s second largest exporter, record-low monsoon rains are expected to reduce the volume of crops, including rice, in India, the world’s biggest shipper of the grain, meteorologists and analysts said.

Insufficient rains in Southeast Asia, meanwhile, could dent supplies of palm oil, the world’s most widely used vegetable oil, while extreme weather in top corn and soybean importer China is putting food output at risk.

“We are in full-blown El Nino weather in several parts of the world and it is going to intensify towards the end of the year,” said Chris Hyde, a meteorologist at US-based Maxar Technologies, a climate data analytics platform.

“The weather pattern in Asia will correlate with dry El Nino conditions.”

El Nino is a warming of Pacific waters which typically results in drier conditions over Asia and excessive rains in parts of North and South America.

Lack of rains in India, Australia

India’s monsoon rains, crucial for summer crops such as rice, sugarcane, soybeans and corn, are poised to be the weakest in eight years.

“The impact of El Nino is much greater than we had anticipated,” said a senior India Meteorological Department official. “This month is going to end with a deficit of over 30%, marking it as the driest August on record. El Nino will also affect September’s rainfall.”

India, which accounts for 40% of global rice exports, has curbed shipments, lifting prices to 15-year highs.

Australia’s wheat output estimates are being revised lower by analysts for the first time in four years as key growing areas have had insufficient rain in August.

“Wheat production is going to be three million (metric) tons lower than our initial estimate of 33 million tons,” said Ole Houe, director of advisory services at agricultural brokerage IKON Commodities. “If the dryness continue in September, we are looking at an even lower crop.”

Australia has had three straight years of bumper wheat output, boosting supplies for importers such as China, Indonesia and Japan.

Tropical Southeast Asia hit by dryness

Rice, palm oil, sugarcane and coffee crops have received lower-than-usual rainfall in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia and Thailand the worst hit.

“Eastern parts of Indonesia and much of Thailand has had very little rain in the last 30 to 40 days,” Maxar’s Hyde said.

“In these areas, precipitation has been 50% to 70% of average. Most of September is going to be largely below normal rains in Thailand and Indonesia.”

In the United States, corn and soybean crops have suffered in recent weeks due to dryness, although the weather is not associated with El Nino, said Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc.

From November to February, however, US farms will see a bigger impact from El Nino with above-average precipitation in southern states, benefiting winter wheat, Lerner said.

South American weather is expected to be crop-friendly for soybeans and corn which will be harvested early 2024.

The weather department has issued forecast indicating moderate to heavy rains for over five days in several states including Delhi, Karnataka, Telangana, Mumbai and Himachal Pradesh.

For the national capital, IMD on Thursday issued yellow alert, with predictions of intermittent showers over the next five to six days. According to IMD, the national capital is expected to continue receiving light to moderate rainfall on Saturday.

The weather office has forecasted a generally cloudy sky with moderate rain in the city for Saturday. The maximum and minimum temperatures for the day are predicted to settle around 34 and 26 degrees Celsius, respectively. An IMD official highlighted that a generally cloudy sky is expected with the possibility of moderate rain and thundershowers in the city on Saturday.

Delhi has witnessed significant rainfall in the past four months, surpassing normal levels. In June, the national capital recorded 101.7 mm rainfall against the usual 74.1 mm. May saw 111 mm, exceeding the average of 30.7 mm. April recorded 20.1 mm against an average of 16.3 mm, and March observed 53.2 mm compared to the usual 17.4 mm.

Monsoon predictions: These states may experience rain deficiency in coming days

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

This year, the monsoon has brought a mixed bag of rainfall patterns across different regions of India. “Rain is still deficient over Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala,” said Mahesh Palawat, Vice President-Meteorology and Climate Change at Skymet Weather Services.

This comes as a matter of concern for farmers in these regions as adequate rainfall is vital for the healthy growth of crops. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and taking necessary measures to address the water scarcity concerns.

Meanwhile, RK Jenamani, senior scientist at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), said Kerala and Tamil Nadu may experience some rain deficiency in the coming days. “Some deficiency is there particularly in the southeast peninsula covering the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh,” he added.

In contrast to the rain-deficient regions, there’s some respite for the Mumbai region as rains are expected to be moderate. The city, which frequently faces waterlogging and transportation disruptions during heavy downpours, might witness a more balanced pattern of rainfall in the coming days.

“Mumbai has recorded heavy to very heavy downpour. The intensity of rains is expected to go down over Mumbai. However, moderate showers with one-two intensive spells may continue and situation will start improving from tomorrow (July 21) onwards,” Palawat said.

On a positive note, the southern regions of Gujarat are expected to receive heavy rainfall on Thursday, replenishing water bodies and helping the agricultural sector in the state. However, authorities are also keeping an eye on potential challenges such as flooding that heavy rains may bring.

“Southern districts of Gujarat may receive heavy to very heavy rain for another two days and intensity of rain will be heavy over the parts of Maharashtra, Vidarbha, parts of Telangana, Chhattisgarh, South MP and parts of north coastal Andhra Pradesh and south Orissa,” Palawat mentioned.

Besides, the meteorological department predicts light rains for the northern parts of the country in the next few days. While this might not entirely compensate for the rain deficit experienced in June, it can still bring some relief to the region.

One silver lining amidst the variations in rainfall is that rains in July have covered the deficit observed in June in some areas. This is promising as it helps in balancing the overall seasonal rainfall and providing better prospects for agricultural activities.

There is hope for more rainfall than the average in July. Such above-average rainfall can prove beneficial for the economy, ensuring ample water supply and positively impacting agricultural output.

In the coming months, concerns may arise regarding the potential impact of El-Nino on India’s monsoon. Mahesh Palawat suggested that the effects of El-Nino may become noticeable in August and September. El-Nino typically brings warmer sea surface temperatures in the Pacific, which can influence weather patterns worldwide.

On the brighter side, Central India is likely to experience an active monsoon for the next three to four days. This could bring much-needed relief to states in the region, including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh.
