The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted an above-normal monsoon for the year 2024, with expected rainfall to be 106% of the long-period average of 87 cm from June to September. This prediction was released during the 'Long Range Forecast for Southwest Monsoon 2024' press conference in New Delhi, attended by Dr. M. Ravichandran, Secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences. He highlighted that this marks at least a 4% increase over the typical rainfall. Additionally, historical data from 1951 to 2023 indicates that India experienced above-normal monsoon rainfall on nine occasions when La Nina followed an El Nino event. The onset of La Nina conditions, which are associated with good monsoon in India, is expected between August and September.
