So the IMD forecast of a deficit of 12% is looking much more realistic.

Skymet's forecast of a surplus of 2% is rather optimistic. The remaining 5 weeks of the season would need more than 40% higher rainfall than the normal to achieve that figure.

The only saving grace might be the excess rain we had in the pre-monsoon season which has limited the country-wide YTD deficit to 3% as of now.
