Satellite imagery shows uneven monsoon spread across India, with a 11% rainfall deficit recorded so far.
The latest satellite data indicates that the monsoon has spread unevenly over the Indian subcontinent, with significant variations in rainfall across regions.
A high‑resolution image captured by a weather satellite highlights patches of dry land interspersed with areas receiving adequate rainfall, underscoring the patchy nature of the current monsoon.
According to preliminary analysis, the country is experiencing an 11% deficit in rainfall compared to the seasonal average, raising concerns for agriculture and water resources.
Meteorological authorities warn that the shortfall could impact crop yields and water availability, prompting a review of irrigation and water‑management strategies.
