THis is so good news after a lull of both monsoon as well as positive outlook. This update looks promising and hope that the entire countery gets covered with meaningful rains as predicted around 5th July 2018.

Hope for a super SWM for 2018 for entire India!!!

July/August is hotspot for Gujarat rains. Will deadly 2017 floods repeat?

As whole rain has shifted north entire south very less rain... TN / AP heat continues.
Maharashtra very environment conscious apart for tree plantation first state for PLASTIC ban.

With monsoon extra vigorous over konkan, almost quiet over KAR, KER -> again no hope of Cauvery reaching normal state... july/aug/sept will be dominated only by MAHAA,MP,GUJ,RAJ... actually this is a change in climate pattern...

Modi government instead of spending money on useless bullet trains,water ways between GUJ and MAHA should spend money on linking Konkan might excess rains rivers with parched /drought hit AP,KAR. This will help poor farmers/people provide life giving water.

Inspite of all this so-called 'panic' no action is taken!!!
