India's Monsoon Shows Temporary Recovery Before Entering Break Phase
India's southwest monsoon showed a brief recovery in early July, reducing the seasonal rainfall deficit from nearly 40% below normal to around 14-18%. This improvement was driven by heavy rains in central, northwest, and peninsular India. However, recent satellite data and weather reports indicate a monsoon break, with the monsoon trough shifting northwards near the Himalayan foothills, causing reduced rainfall over much of the country except the Northeast. Seasonal deficits persist, and subdued conditions are expected to continue in the coming week.
