Explained | Shifting monsoon patterns

The Hindu  

The story so far: The India Meteorological Department has said that the monsoon has begun to retreat from Rajasthan. Monsoon rainfall in India has been surplus by around 7% this year though with extreme inequity. Rains in Central India were surplus by 20% and in southern India by 25%, with the last month seeing several instances of flooding in Kerala, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. This, in part, is why for the third year in a row, India is seeing surplus rain in September, a month that usually marks the retreat of the monsoon. This year the monsoon is already in surplus by about 6% and a vigorous September is likely to see India post yet another year of surplus rain.
