What happened

Well supportedReported by 21 independent outlets

The strengthening El Niño is cited as a major factor influencing the weakening Indian monsoon circulation, which is currently being monitored by the India Meteorological Department in Chittorgarh. The country is experiencing a final spell of the southwest monsoon, with rain expected between September 12 and 21 across large parts of Central, South, East, and West India. Despite this, the seasonal rainfall deficit nationally currently stands at around 14 per cent below normal.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The impacts of El Niño can disrupt the country’s agricultural sector, which remains heavily reliant on the monsoon. A poor or uneven monsoon can affect farmers’ incomes, rural consumption, and put pressure on government finances. The situation is particularly critical in regions like Vidarbha, where deficits have been reported up to 58 per cent.
