MeT department predicts normal monsoon this year
Giving information about the monsoon this year, the Meteorological Department said that this year there will be normal monsoon in the country. Madhavan Rajeevan, secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences said that during the monsoon season 2020, the monsoon rainfall is expected to be 100% of its long-term average, with an error of +5 or -5% due to model error.
The four-month southwest monsoon starts from Kerala every year from June to September every month. This prediction is believed to be of paramount importance amid Corona cases and lockdown in the country. Farmers are always waiting for a good monsoon every year.
