Monsoon is above normal in Karnataka and Tamil nadu this year upto 17th July

 The performance of the monsoon in India so far in 2024 has been mixed, but overall positive with only (-)3% deficient so far from LPA(Long Period Average). In Karnataka and TN rains are above normal at 15% approx excess in Karnataka and 88% above normal approx  in TN upto 17th July

Positive Aspects:

  • Above-Normal Rainfall: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted above-normal rainfall for the 2024 monsoon season, with 106% of the Long Period Average (LPA) expected. This has largely held true in many regions.
  • Timely Onset: The southwest monsoon made a timely onset over Kerala and progressed well initially, bringing much-needed relief from the summer heatwave.
  • Beneficial for Agriculture: Adequate rainfall is crucial for agriculture, which is a significant contributor to the Indian economy. A good monsoon season can boost agricultural output and overall economic growth.

Areas of Concern:

  • Uneven Distribution: The distribution of rainfall has been uneven across different regions of India. Some areas have received excess rainfall, leading to floods and related issues, while others have experienced deficient rainfall.
  • Delayed Progress in Some Regions: The monsoon's progress has been somewhat delayed in certain regions, leading to concerns about potential droughts and water shortages.

Overall, while the monsoon performance in 2024 has been largely positive, the uneven distribution and delayed progress in some regions raise concerns that need to be monitored closely. The IMD will continue to provide updates and forecasts throughout the season.

Additional Information:

  • The southwest monsoon season in India typically lasts from June to September.
  • The performance of the monsoon is crucial for agriculture, water resources, and overall economic activity in India.

State of the Indian Economy: Navigating Global Uncertainties

 The global economic landscape is rapidly evolving, with trade policy uncertainty emerging as the key driver of the near-term outlook. Recent US tariff announcements have stoked fears of a global trade war, with countries still working out their appropriate responses in this uncertain environment. Despite these external headwinds, the Indian economy has exhibited marked resilience.
