The Assam and Northeast regions are experiencing a significant rainfall deficit in June, a situation attributed to the impact of El Nino on the monsoon patterns.
Record rainfall deficits have been observed across Assam and the wider Northeast region during the month of June. This significant shortfall is impacting the region as the monsoon season progresses.
Experts are linking the unusual dry spell to the prevailing El Nino conditions. El Nino is known to influence global weather patterns, and its effect on the Indian subcontinent's monsoon is a recurring concern.
The prolonged lack of adequate rainfall during a crucial month for agriculture and water resources raises concerns for the region's environmental and economic stability.
