IMD predicts below-normal monsoon rainfall for India in 2026

New Delhi, May 29:The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the country is likely to receive below-normal southwest monsoon rainfall during the June-September season this year, while warning of above-normal heatwave days in several states during June. In its updated long-range forecast issued by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the IMD said the monsoon seasonal rainfall during 2026 is likely to be around 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of plus or minus 4 percent. The LPA for the monsoon season based on 1971-2020 data is 87 cm. According to the forecast, there is an 84 per cent probability of below-normal or deficient rainfall across the country during the monsoon season. The IMD said below-normal rainfall is most likely over most parts of the country, except some areas of northwest and northeast India, eastern parts of peninsular India and adjoining east-central regions, where normal to above-normal rainfall is expected. The weather agency warned that below-normal rainfall may create challenges for agriculture, drinking water supply, hydropower generation and ecosystem sustainability. It may also increase the risks of drought and heat stress in several regions. For June 2026, rainfall across the country is also expected to remain below normal at less than 92 percent of the Long Period Average. However, some parts of northwest and northeast India and several areas of south peninsular India are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall. The IMD further said above-normal heatwave days are expected during June over many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Isolated regions of Maharashtra, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness more heatwave days than usual. However, Rajasthan and Jharkhand are expected to see below-normal heatwave days during the month. The Ministry of Earth Sciences said above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country during June. The IMD noted that neutral El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions over the equatorial Pacific are currently transitioning towards El Nino conditions, which are likely to develop during the southwest monsoon season. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to continue during the monsoon period. The weather office advised state governments and district administrations to take necessary preparedness measures to deal with possible heatwave conditions, including ensuring safe drinking water, operational cooling shelters and stronger health surveillance systems. The IMD also urged people to remain hydrated, avoid exposure during peak afternoon hours and take special care of vulnerable individuals, including children, elderly people and outdoor workers. The department said it will issue the forecast for July rainfall in the last week of June 2026.

IMD forecasts below-normal monsoon rainfall, above-normal heatwaves in June

New Delhi , May 29 : The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday issued its second-stage long-range forecast for the southwest monsoon season, projecting below-normal rainfall across several key regions of the country while warning of heatwave conditions in multiple states starting in June. Addressing a press conference, Director General of Meteorology Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said the country is expected to receive 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA) rainfall during the June-September monsoon season, with a model error margin of four per cent. We are providing the second-stage update for the June-September monsoon. Quantitatively, we expect 90 per cent of the LPA, with a 4 per cent model error, Mohapatra said.According to the regional forecast, Northeast India is expected to receive normal rainfall, ranging between 94 and 106 per cent of the LPA. However, Central India, South Peninsular India, Northwest India and the Monsoon Core Zone are likely to experience below-normal rainfall during the season.Providing the outlook for June, Mohapatra said rainfall is expected to remain below normal across most parts of the country, at less than 92 per cent of the LPA. Some areas in Northwest India, Northeast India and the southern peninsula may, however, witness normal to above-normal rainfall.The IMD also forecast above-normal temperatures for most regions during June. Maximum temperatures will be above normal for most of the country, except for parts of Central, Northwest and East India. Minimum temperatures are also expected to remain mostly above normal, Mohapatra said. The weather agency warned of an above-normal number of heatwave days in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Parts of Maharashtra, Telangana and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness increased heatwave activity. On oceanic conditions, Mohapatra said neutral ENSO conditions are transitioning towards El Nino, with the probability of El Nino conditions increasing to 82 per cent by June and crossing 90 per cent by July and August. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to persist throughout the monsoon season.He further noted that rainfall in May has been four per cent above normal nationally, while cumulative seasonal rainfall up to May 27 stood one per cent above normal. Mohapatra said the southwest monsoon advanced into the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on May 16, four days ahead of the normal onset date. It has since progressed into the South Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep, with conditions remaining favourable for its arrival over Kerala and the northeastern states within the next week. Meanwhile, the IMD on Thursday forecasted relief from severe heat across Northwest India over the next three days due to the influence of western disturbances and easterly winds, along with thunderstorms, gusty winds and hailstorm activity in several regions.

tdp-announces-33-per-cent-women-quota-for-2029-assembly-and-lok-sabha-elections

The Telugu Desam Party has announced a 33 per cent quota for women in the 2029 general elections for the state assembly and Lok Sabha. Nara Lokesh, working president of the party and Andhra Pradesh IT and education minister, proposed the reservation on the first day of the partys annual conference, Mahanadu 2026, themed Stree Shakti. A media release issued by the TDP on May 27 said the decision was taken amid ongoing delays in the implementation of the Womens Reservation Bill in Parliament. The move is aimed at improving womens representation in politics and giving impetus to the implementation of the national law. Addressing the party conference, Lokesh said the next phase of Indian politics should focus on womens leadership and that the TDP would lead the effort from the front. He noted that the NDA government had introduced the Womens Reservation Bill and emphasised that women should move beyond being beneficiaries of welfare schemes to becoming active participants in decision-making. According to Lokeshs proposal, the party will allocate 33 per cent of seats to women candidates in the 2029 elections, describing it as a commitment to building a more inclusive political future. The party recently appointed its MP, Byreddy Shabari, as its first woman national general secretary, indicating a push for greater roles for women in its organisational structure. In the 2024 Andhra Pradesh assembly elections, the Telugu Desam Party fielded 17 women candidates out of the 144 seats it contested as part of the NDA alliance, accounting for about 11.8 per cent of its nominees. For the Lok Sabha elections, the party gave tickets to two women candidates out of the 17 Parliament seats it contested, again around 11.8 per cent. Against this backdrop, the partys newly announced commitment to allot 33 per cent of tickets to women in the 2029 assembly and Lok Sabha elections would mark a nearly threefold increase in womens representation in its candidate selection process. With this announcement, the TDP has joined a small group of political parties that have voluntarily committed a significant share of tickets to women candidates. While several parties have supported the womens reservation law at the national level, only a few have implemented such measures within their own party structures. In 2019, the Biju Janata Dal became the first party to allot 33 per cent of its Lok Sabha tickets to women, while the Trinamool Congress has consistently fielded one of the highest proportions of women candidates, touching nearly 40 per cent in some elections. Women currently account for only about 13.6 per cent of the Lok Sabha, while their representation in state assemblies averages around 9 per cent nationally. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, women constituted only about 9.5 per cent of total candidates. Though Parliament passed the Constitution (106th Amendment) Act, 2023, providing 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, its implementation has been linked to the Census and delimitation exercises, delaying its rollout.

south-west-monsoon-delayed-when-the-rain-is-set-to-arrive

The Indian Meteorological Department had predicted that the monsoon would begin in Kerala around May 26. However, weak winds and hot weather conditions on Tuesday have raised uncertainty over rain arriving in the rest of the country by June 1. The department had said that conditions were favourable for monsoon onset only in some parts of the Arabian Sea. The south-west monsoon is expected to enter he state now only between June 5 and 10. The reported delay is in the wake of El Nios impact. The movement of the monsoon slowed down, and it is predicted that there will be less rainfall this year. For the rains to be categorised as monsoon, at least 60 per cent of 14 weather stations in Kerala must record rainfall measuring 2.5 mm or more over two consecutive days alongside specific wind and cloud coverage. Meanwhile, many parts of the country have been reeling under the hot conditions for the past few days. Temperatures in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, for example, crossed 46.5 degree celcius on Monday. Deaths due to heatstroke were also reported in the state, with a red alert being issued for the adverse conditions. A red alert was issued for Odisha, East Madhya Pradesh and East Uttar Pradesh due to the sweltering heat. A yellow alert was issued in Delhi for excessive heat on Tuesday. Despite the delayed onset of monsoon, the IMD predicted that there would be light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds over Kerala, Mahe and Lakshadweep from May 26 to 29. A yellow alert has been issued for Kerala and Lakshadweep over the next four days. There will also be light to moderate rainfall in isolated parts of Tamil Nadu, interior Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka, Telangana, Rayalaseema, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh during the same period. This will be accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. Coastal Maharashtra and Goa are also set for similar conditions.
