The much awaited rainfall made its presence in almost in all parts of vid and chtg.

Further movement into rest of India is favourable for monsoon and intermittent rains in Nagpur and around till 3rd July 2026 are expected.

The difference in sst between Indian Ocean (western and eastern) refers to as IOD and earlier has helped India to avoid severe monsoon shortfall due to EL Nino and it's adverse effects.

The waters near Indonesia are cooler as compared to the African coast which are warmer during a positive phase of IOD.

This changes the wind patterns and channelize moisture towards India which boosts rainfall and eventually monsoon.

The El nino develops in the Pacific Ocean whereas the IOD in the Indian Ocean has influence on the weather patterns on the countries surrounding the Indian ocean.

Additionally the data and analysis from Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) can be referred to for the developments of Elnino and IOD.

Always refer to IMD for weather forecast.

Historic delay in onset of monsoon at Nagpur in 2026 attributed, to eLnono

We may be heading towards dry start of monsoon this year in 2026 at Nagpur with historic delay, much delayed onset and drier than usual monsoon.

The mid-monsoon period from 15th July to 15th August is likely to post normal rainfall figures.

There is no significant energy from east coast and the monsoon current on the west coast is also paused.

Very little rain or brief showers in some parts of Nagpur and around Nagpur on 27th-28th June 2026 as per the Meteogram from IMD👇🏻

If there is a revival of monsoon, parts of eastern India upto Chhattisgarh will experience intense thunderstorms with isolated rains in the last week of June 2026.

Far away from India eLnino taking shape , the climate shift would eventually affect every Indian home, our farm production could reduce and eventually businesses across the country.

Nearly 75% of annual rainfall is recorded in the jjas, the monsoon season, alone and is vital for our food proce, the agriculture and the reservoirs for water storage.

India being the most populous country the shortfall of rains will have cascading effects like water shortages and widespread drought like situations.

The only hope of revival of Monsoon could be positive shift of iod.
