After an uneven run in June, the southwest monsoon is expected to become vigorous in July with all-India average rain across the country predicted at 106 per cent of the long-period average (LPA), which is "above normal", said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday.
The LPA for the country in July is 28.04 cm and precipitation is expected to be more than that.
This will be a boost to kharif sowing, which till last week was 30 per cent more than the area covered during the same period in 2023.
Strong kharif output, particularly of pulses and oilseeds, is likely to help the government in its fight against inflation.
July and August are the two most important months in the fourmonth southwest monsoon, which begins in June and contribute more than 60 per cent of the total.
