SOUTHWEST monsoon appears to be picking up pace as the weather office on Monday claimed that about 80% of the country has been covered by the seasonal rains which are expected to drench northwest India in the next two days. Aided by the low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal, monsoon has covered entire central India and some parts of Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh.
Deficient rains imply not only a drop in crop production and consequently incomes, but also a serious shortage of drinking water and animal fodder, resulting in rural-urban migration and growing pressure on urban spaces.

This year the southwest monsoon set in early over Kerala and got off to a dramatic, if unpropitious, start.

Thereafter, the monsoon went into a slump and its progress northwards has been tardy.
