July will see above normal rainfall
The IMD on Monday said that India may receive above normal rainfall in July and heavy rains are likely to cause floods in river valleys in the western Himalayan regions and the central part of the country. The IMD has forecast below normal rainfall in Northeast India. IMD chief Mrityunjay Mahapatra said in a digital press conference that the average rainfall in July across the country is likely to be above normal, which may be 106 per cent of the long period average (LPA) of 28.04 cm. He said, “Most parts of the country are likely to receive above normal rainfall except many parts of Northeast India and some parts of northwest, east and south-eastern peninsular India.”

A matter of danger for these states

The IMD chief said that the forecast of above normal rainfall “certainly” indicates the possibility of very heavy rainfall in some areas. He said, “Especially if we look at states like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir and the foothills of the western Himalayas, we are expecting more than normal rainfall.” Mohapatra said, “This is the area where cloudburst, heavy rainfall can have devastating effects in the form of landslides, floods. Many rivers also originate from here. In central India too, Godavari, Mahanadi and other river basins are expected to receive more than normal rainfall. Therefore, there is a high possibility of floods there.”
