India Monsoon

An Indian start-up has modified sophisticated spy and surveillance satellite technology and tweaked it to detect mosquito breeding. Mosquitos are a menace of unparalleled proportions during the summer and monsoon months.

Above-normal rainfall is expected during the 2024 southwest monsoon season over most parts of south Asia, the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum said today.

India needs a countrywide law to regulate groundwater and manage freshwater resources. Overdependence on monsoons should have been a thing of the past by now.

India is likely to experience above-normal cumulative rainfall in the 2024 monsoon season with La Nina conditions likely to set in by August-September, the IMD has said on Monday.

India is likely to witness rainfall above the normal level this monsoon, the weather department has said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not help during Himachal Pradesh's worst monsoon disaster but Union minister Nitin Gadkari resolved most of the issues related to the national highways in the state, claimed state Congress chief Pratibha Singh today.

At least two global climate agencies announced last week that El Nino, the warming of the equatorial Pacific Ocean that impacts weather across the world, has started to weaken.

The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the three criminal code bills -- The Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023 -- to replace the Indian Penal Code.

Tamil Nadu received widespread rains across the state, with the southern districts recording heavy showers on Thursday, as the North East Monsoon intensified.

Mumbai's air quality has deteriorated recently with the Air Quality Index (AQI) being above 200 (poor) at several places in the city in the past few days.

This phenomenon could also have an impact on the economy and agriculture production.

The Southwest Monsoon withdrew completely from India today, four days after the normal date of October 15, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

IMD Director General said that with positive factors countering El Nino, the 2023 monsoon season concluded with 94.4 per cent cumulative rainfall which is considered "normal".

The southwest monsoon season concluded on Saturday with India receiving "below-average" cumulative rainfall -- 820 mm compared to the long-period average of 868.6 mm -- in an El Nino year.

The southwest monsoon which entered Himachal Pradesh on June 24 started withdrawing from parts of the state on Saturday, MeT officials said.
