INDIA IS LIKELY to receive above-normal rainfall during the second half of the monsoon season (August and September), the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday. Overall rainfall is likely to be 106% of the long period average (LPA) in the next two months.

"Normal to above-normal rainfall is most likely over most parts of the country during August-September, except parts of northeast, east India, some regions of central India and south peninsular India where below-normal rainfall is likely," Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, director general, IMD, said at a briefing.

Rainfall in June and July 2025 was 109% and 106% of the LPA, respectively, Mohapatra said. However, for August, the overall precipitation, according to the met department, will be in the range of 94-106% of the LPA.
