Monsoon tends to have ‘breaks’ in rainfall; which means that there are wet and dry spells in between. The monsoon is famous for its uncertainties. It may cause heavy floods in one part of the country, and may be responsible for droughts in other part. Because of its uncertain behaviour, it sometimes disturbs the farming schedule in India. This affects millions of farmers all over the country.

Monsoon rainfall in India occurs from June to September (southwest monsoon) and October to December (northeast monsoon). It brings intense and widespread precipitation, crucial for agriculture, contributing 70-80% of the annual rainfall. Geographically varied, heavier rainfall is observed in regions like the Western Ghats and coastal areas. Beneficial for agriculture, it supports crop growth and influences food production and prices. However, excessive rainfall can lead to floods, impacting crops, infrastructure, and daily life.
