During the last week, while rains were less Pan-India, rainfall was observed at places which were reeling under large deficiency. Good recovery in terms of rainfall took place over Uttar Pradesh, Bihar as well as the state of Jharkhand.
In fact, during the week between July 19 and 25, 25 sub-divisions were observing normal rains while after rains last week, the number increased to 29 sub-divisions. Moreover, the week before, 11 subdivisions were seeing deficient rains which got reduced to a mere seven last week.
Now, during the next week, rainfall activity is likely to be limited to a few areas only including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Northeast India. North Odisha is expected to see some rains as well, but other parts of the country will not see good rainfall. Thus, the Pan India cumulative rain deficiency which stands at -7 percent may rise further.
