The India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) latest long-range forecast shows that the monthly rainfall over the country for August 2023 is likely to be below normal — less than 94% of the long-period average (LPA) for the month, to be precise.
Within the country, normal to above-normal rainfall is on the cards for most parts of East-Central India and the subdivisions along the Himalayas, along with some parts of East and Northeast India, the IMD has said.
