India Meteorological Department(IMD)Says Monsoon Will be Normal or Excess in 2016

Ruling out the possibility of a deficient monsoon, India Meteorological Department(IMD) on Thursday June 02,2016 said 96% chances are that the rainfall in 2016 would be normal to excess.

Releasing the second long-range forecast, IMD Director General Laxman Singh Rathore said North-West India will receive 108% rainfall of the Long Period Average while central India and southern peninsula will receive 113 per cent of LPA.

The North-Eastern Region is expected to get 94% of rainfall which is "below normal".

Anything less than 90 per cent of the LPA is termed as a "deficient" monsoon and 90-96 per cent of the LPA is rated as "below normal". Monsoon is considered "normal" if the LPA is between 96 and 104 per cent of the LPA.
