In July, most parts of the country, except some areas of northwest and peninsular India, are likely to experience normal to above normal maximum temperatures. :There are high probabilities for the development of El Nifio conditions over the equatorial Pacific Ocean and positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions over the Indian Ocean from July to September. As sea surface temperature conditions over the Pacific and the Indian Oceans are known to have strong influence on Indian monsoon, IMD is carefully monitoring the evolution of sea surface conditions over these Ocean basins,” it added.
The IMD will issue the forecast for the rainfall during the second half of the season (August + September 2023) and for the month of August towards the end of July.
