India's 2026 Monsoon Shows Uneven Rainfall Amid New Weather Systems and El Niño Concerns
India's 2026 monsoon season has shown uneven rainfall distribution, with some states like Odisha receiving above-normal precipitation while others, including Meghalaya and Bihar, face deficits. August brought record rainfall in Delhi, easing overall deficit concerns and aiding agricultural recovery. A new low-pressure system is expected to bring more rain to eastern and northern regions, supported by an active monsoon trough. However, the looming El Niño phenomenon poses uncertainty for the remainder of the season.
