Indian Monsoon 2026: IMD Flags Below-Normal Outlook Amid Climate Concerns
The Indian Monsoon remains the lifeline of the world’s largest agrarian economy, irrigating 50% of farmland and influencing 600 million lives. In April 2026, IMD issued its first long-range forecast, predicting the 2026 Southwest Monsoon (June-September) at 92% of the Long Period Average (LPA)—classified as “below normal” (90-95% LPA), with a ±5% error margin. This comes against evolving El Niño conditions, neutral IOD shifting positive, and reduced Northern Hemisphere snow cover, raising alarms for kharif crops, reservoirs, and food security.
