After a spell of heavy rain that resulted in severe flooding in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert in the region as more rains are likely over the next five days.

Shortly after the&nbsp;brief respite from the incessant rains that wreaked havoc in the two states, a new weather system has developed over the region that is expected to bring heavy to very heavy rains&nbsp;in isolated places. The earlier rains in the states resulted in damage to roads, disrupted railways, and flooded&nbsp;farms.&nbsp;

The weather department issued an orange alert in Jayashankar Bhupalpally and Mulugu districts on Thursday, while a yellow alert has been issued for heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds for most parts of the two states till September 9.&nbsp;

According to the IMD, a cyclonic storm near the north coast of Andhra Pradesh is expected to create a low-pressure area over the west-central and northwest Bay of Bengal around September 5, which would result in heavy rains.&nbsp;

“We expect extremely heavy rainfall in some areas of Jayashankar Bhupalpally and Mulugu districts, which is why we have issued an orange alert. Other areas will see heavy to moderate rains over the next five days," IMD officials told TNIE.

"Northern Telangana is likely to experience heavier rains compared to the rest of the state. The intensity is due to the combined effect of the monsoon trough and cyclonic circulation. However, the rainfall will be less intense than what we saw in the past week. Further intensity will depend on how the trough progresses.”

Telangana rains: IMD issued orange alert after brief respite from heavy rains

Monsoon winds have hit the south Indian state of Kerala on Thursday (May 30), two days ahead of the normal rain arrival. The monsoon also reached northeast India six days in advance on the same day.

Earlier, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had said on Wednesday that conditions were extremely favourable for the onset of monsoon season.

&nbsp;"Normal date (for the arrival of Monsoon in the northeast) was 5th June, but it arrived today. In Kerala, it was supposed to be on 1st June, but it arrived here on 30th May. The reason for this is that wind patterns were already established..." said IMD scientist, Dr Naresh Kumar.

Earlier on&nbsp;May 28, the rainy winds&nbsp;reached the South Arabian Sea and the Maldives region.

"The favourable conditions are expected to continue, facilitating further advancement of the Southwest Monsoon into more areas of the South Arabian Sea, the remaining parts of the Maldives and Comorin region, some parts of the Lakshadweep area, Kerala, additional areas of the Southwest and Central Bay of Bengal, the Northeast Bay of Bengal, and parts of the Northeastern states over the next three or four days," the IMD said.

<h2>Kerala welcomes heavy rains</h2>

Kerala was battered by heavy rains on Tuesday (May 28) as pre-monsoon showers disrupted normal life. Streets were inundated in several towns of the state, making it difficult for people to step outside. Severe water-logging was observed in the Kakkanad-Infopark and Aluva-Edappally areas. Heavy rains have been continuing in the Thiruvananthapuram district since Monday night.

Currently, a cyclonic circulation in the middle tropospheric levels is located over south Tamil Nadu and its surrounding areas. This may lead to widespread light to moderate rainfall along with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds (30-40 kmph) over Kerala, Mahe, Lakshadweep, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 
 
Scattered light to moderate rainfall is also predicted in states like Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rayalaseema, and Karnataka over the next seven days.&nbsp;

<h2>Above-normal rainfall expected</h2>

According to the IMD, above-normal rainfall is expected this monsoon season, lasting from June to September. The seasonal rainfall across the country is predicted to be 106 per cent of the long-period average (LPA).

Monsoon makes onset in Kerala two days in advance, reaches northeast India 6 days earlier

The northern Indian state of Punjab, known for its bumper agricultural output, is facing the wrath of climate change, a new research by the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has revealed.&nbsp;The scientists studied&nbsp;the monsoon data and patterns over the past five decades to conclude that the rainy season was now staying far longer than the normal duration but the amount of rainfall was decreasing while remaining unevenly distributed.

Farmers in Punjab grow some of the most water-guzzling crops in the country and a bountiful monsoon season is necessary to ensure that the yield is proper. However, in the absence of required rain, lack of crop diversification and indiscriminate pumping of groundwater - Punjab might be heading towards becoming a 'water deficit desert', the study showed.&nbsp;

“During the monsoon season, paddy is the main crop grown in the state. The area under paddy has increased from 0.6 Mha during 1970 to 3.01 Mha during 2018, an increase of 400 per cent. To irrigate this water-guzzling crop, farmers are dependent either on monsoon rainfall or on underground water," read the study, conducted by&nbsp;senior agro meteorologists Sarabjot Kaur Sandhu and Prabhjyot Kaur.

<h2>17 years of deficient monsoon rainfall&nbsp;</h2>

The study added that monsoon patterns had aggravated in the last two decades (2001 onwards), compounding&nbsp;the problem. Between 2001 and 2020, Punjab recorded deficient monsoon rainfall in 17 years, despite monsoon lasting more than the normal 77 days.&nbsp;

"But over the last two decades, the duration of monsoon currents has increased but the rate of rainfall is well below the average of 6 mm/day. Also, the distribution of the rainfall during the season is highly variable during the four months. The sudden and heavy shower of rainfall received in a short span of time is not only declining the water productivity of crops but also hampering the recharging of underground aquifers."

Explaining how the rainfall was affecting the region, the study stated that the northeastern regions of the state lying in the foothills of Shivalik (the lowest range of the Himalayas) were receiving less rainfall over the years, which skewed the average distribution statistic.

The low to medium rainfall in June, and July meant that groundwater resources were heavily stretched out while heavy rainfall in September, delayed the maturity and harvesting of the paddy crop.&nbsp;

The study also notes that erratic changes in the rainfall pattern have led to a shift in the climate of&nbsp;Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) and northeast India - meaning Punjab, which lies in IGP, and already has a semi-arid and subtropical climate was heading towards a relatively arid regime.&nbsp;

Up until Sunday (July 23), Punjab had received 57.7 per cent of the normal rainfall of the entire monsoon season with two months to go.&nbsp;Punjab recorded 248.1 mm of rain to date against the normal required 168.3 mm, representing a 47 per cent&nbsp;surplus. However, experts are wary that the rainfall may have come in short, excessive bursts that cause more damage to the crops, instead of low, continuous intensity.&nbsp;

India's Punjab may become 'water deficit desert' due to climate change: Study

In a rare event, the monsoon on Sunday covered both Delhi and Mumbai together. While it hit the national capital two days earlier than schedule, its entry into the financial capital is two weeks late, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). "The Southwest Monsoon has advanced over Mumbai and Delhi today (June 25)," an IMD official said.

The monsoon, which had a slow start, has now made swift progress, covering numerous regions, including some parts of Maharashtra, entire Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, northeast India, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, east Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, most parts of Himachal Pradesh, and some parts of Haryana, according to an IMD official.

Normally, the rain-bearing system reaches Kerala by June 1, Mumbai by June 11, and the national capital by June 27.

Although the monsoon has covered a significant portion of north India, including Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and a large part of Jammu and Kashmir, on schedule or slightly ahead, it is currently running 10-12 days behind schedule for a considerable part of central India, where a significant number of farmers heavily rely on it.

D S Pai, a senior scientist at the IMD, explained that Cyclone Biparjoy had impacted the monsoon's progress over southern India and the adjoining western and central parts of the country.

He said, "Since the system absorbed most of the moisture, the monsoon's progress along the west coast was slow." However, the Bay of Bengal branch of the monsoon, responsible for bringing rains to the northeast and east India, remained stronger between June 11 and June 23.

Pai attributed this to a low-pressure system that formed over the Bay of Bengal in mid-June and the remnants of cyclone Biparjoy, which aided the monsoon's advancement over east India.

Pai noted that the Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon is now gaining strength with a low-pressure system developing over the Bay of Bengal. "The monsoon may cover the entire Maharashtra and some parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan on Sunday," added the senior meteorologist.

He said that it represents a new pulse of the monsoon, and rapid progress is expected.

India: Monsoon arrives in Delhi, Mumbai together, says IMD

Indians are waiting for the annual rains that are so crucial to the economy. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Kerala coast might receive monsoon in 48 hours.

Indians are waiting for the annual rains that are so crucial to the economy. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Kerala coast might receive monsoon in 48 hours. The IMD forecast mentioned that the latest meteorological features related to the onset of the monsoon in Kerala depict a persistence of westerly winds over the south Arabian Sea. It also said that the westerly winds reached the tropospheric levels, and clouds are over the southeast Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep, and Kerala coasts. The onset of the southwest monsoon could delay the sowing of Kharif crops, especially paddy. Regular rainfall is critical for India's agricultural economy, as 52 per cent of the net cultivated area relies on it. It is also crucial for rejuvenating water reservoirs important for drinking water apart from power generation across the country. Around 40 per cent of India's total food production depends on rain, making it a crucial contributor to India's food security and economic stability. Monsoon forecast & warning Kerala, Lakshadweep, and south interior Karnataka might witness light or moderate rainfall with thunderstorms, lightning or gusty winds. According to the IMD forecast, there might be isolated or scattered activity over coastal and north interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh over the next five days. Manipur and Mizoram might witness isolated heavy rainfall on June 7. IMD has also predicted isolated heavy showers over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya on June 10 and 11, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim on June 11. On June 7, West Rajasthan might witness a thundersquall of 50-60 km/h. In June, most parts of India can expect 'below normal' rains during the four-month southwest monsoon season, ending in September. ALSO READ | Cyclone 'Biparjoy' to intensify in next 24 hours, here's how it will impact monsoon in India Heatwave warning According to the latest IMD forecast, Northwest India might see a two to four-degree Celsius rise in maximum temperature during the next five days. Central India might also witness a rise in maximum temperature. Heatwave conditions will continue in some regions of Bihar, West Bengal, east Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh for the next five days. Cyclonic storm 'Biparjoy' Cyclone 'Biparjoy,' last recorded over the east-central and southeast Arabian Sea, is expected to shift northwards. It may intensify into a severe cyclonic storm within the next 24 hours, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday. The cyclone might impact the weather in the southwestern states of India. The winds might intensify to 100km/h in the areas adjoining to west-central and south Arabian Sea and the northern coasts of Kerala, Karnataka, and Goa.
