The El Nino phenomenon has led to a weak and uneven southwest monsoon in Andhra Pradesh, resulting in a significant rainfall deficit. As of now, the state is facing a 38% shortfall in rainfall, which is a matter of concern for the agricultural sector. The uneven distribution of rainfall has affected various parts of the state, with some areas receiving scanty rainfall while others have been left dry.
