Flood Potentials Rising For India’s Ganges River Basin

Kansas City, July 2 (World Weather Inc.) – India’s monsoon has been steadily improving in recent days and this trend will continue for the next week to ten days in the central and northeastern parts of the nation. The wet bias is expected to lead to some flooding especially in the Ganges River Basin where some of the poorest monsoonal rains have occurred in recent past years. Planting has advanced around recent rain and the environment is improving for the emergence and establishment of early-season crops. Eastern into northern India will receive some of the most significant rain during the coming week as a monsoon low pressure center slowly advances over the country. Sufficient rain will fall to saturate the soil and induce some of the season’s first significant flooding. Some flooding has already occurred in the far Eastern States of India and there has been some beneficial rain in Gujarat and Rajasthan within the past week.
