Indian Monsoon May Promote Localized Flooding

Kansas City, July 1 (World Weather Inc.) – Indian’s monsoon is in full swing with a large section of the country receiving rain during the past week. Planting and general fieldwork may have advanced slowly in the wettest locations of eastern, central, and northern India during the past week, though most producers had opportunities to get into the fields between rain events. While early-season production potentials are generally favorable, many areas in southern India have been drier or much drier than normal since late May. Moisture deficits have likely impacted development conditions for the earliest planted crops and there is a growing need for timely rain. Southern India will remain drier biased for at least the next seven days while other areas continue to receive rain on a frequent basis. Localized flooding will be a concern in the wettest areas of eastern, central, and northern India.
