2025 India Monsoon Wetter Biased In Central Areas

Kansas City, May 23 (World Weather Inc.) – India’s monsoon is expected to begin slightly earlier than usual this year. Precipitation will be greater than usual along the central east coast and inland to Madhya Pradesh and immediate neighboring areas. Pakistan and a few areas in northwestern India may experience below normal precipitation due to the potential development of negative Indian Ocean Dipole which may reduce late season rainfall somewhat.

India Pre-Monsoonal Rain Setting Stage For Aggressive Planting

Kansas City, May 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Rainfall was abundant to excessive in southern and portions of both central and eastern India during the past week. The wetter bias has been ongoing throughout May with northern areas unusually wet earlier this month. The most recent wet weather has significantly bolstered soil moisture and even promoted flooding in several locations. Some damage to rice was considered possible in the wettest areas of eastern India and Bangladesh. Rain will continue to be scattered across portions of eastern, central, and southern India and portions of Maharashtra through the end of next week. A tropical disturbance will likely help enhance rainfall for portions of eastern India and Bangladesh later next week with severe flooding possible. Flooding will also be possible along the lower west coast as early season monsoonal rain begins. The additional rain may slow fieldwork of all kinds; including, the late harvest of winter crops and the early planting of summer crops, though the long term prospects for planting are quite favorable.
