PANAJI: When Monsoon stopped official on Thursday, the Rainfall deficit of Indian children, which floated around 10% at the end of August, has now decreased to 1%.
This figure is likely to be concerned into a positive range in the next few days.
If this happens, it will be the third consecutive year with positive rainfall anomalies, said meteorologists.
“Maybe not as much as 2019 or 2020, but enough to defend it on the positive side and also under normal circumstances,” said a meteorologist and retired Nio scientist, said M Ramesh Kumar.
So far, Goa has received 3.154mm compared to normal rainfall of 2,976.5mm, excess 6%.
This monsoon saw two convective systems, both in September.
One of them is deep depression from September 12-15 and another typhoon called Gulab from September 24-28, both formed in Bengal Bay and traveled along Central India.
From September 1 to 29, the state as a whole received 33.9% of excessive rainfall, while the core monsun zone or Central Indian region received 83% of surplus, northwestern region of 40%, and the 25% South Peninsular region.
Only the eastern and northeast regions receive a 30% deficit.
This contrasts with Peak Monsun in August, when the country as a whole receives a 24% deficit.
“Another interesting fact is that the country has a third active spell from September 25 to 28,” Kumar said.
There were three break spells on the other hand during the MONTH MONTH MONSUN in July-August.
