Why it matters

The monsoon is a critical determinant of agricultural output and regional stability in Eastern India. For Bihar, which relies heavily on monsoon rains, the advance of the southwest monsoon brings the potential for both necessary rainfall and associated hazards like flooding and landslides.

This forecast aligns with broader weather patterns across the subcontinent, where the IMD is warning of very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in Northeast India until June 25, indicating a period of intense precipitation risk in the region.
