India Faces Over 40% Rain Deficit After Witnessing Record Driest June | Spotlight | N18G
India’s monsoon is finally showing early signs of revival after a prolonged dry spell, but the situation on the ground remains deeply concerning. The country is still staring at a rainfall deficit of over 40%, making June 2026 one of the driest starts to the monsoon season in more than a century of records. This unusually weak onset has already raised alarm across key sectors, especially agriculture, where delayed and uneven rains are disrupting crop sowing patterns and threatening yields for the coming months. Water reservoirs in several regions continue to remain below normal levels, adding pressure on drinking water supply and irrigation systems, while the broader economy is beginning to feel the ripple effects through rising food inflation and uncertainty in rural incomes.
