June 2026 recorded only 99.5 mm of rainfall, making it the fifth driest June since 1901. According to IMD, the ongoing El Niño has significantly weakened monsoon activity, while the absence of low-pressure systems over the Bay of Bengal further reduced rainfall.

In this video, we explain why July is expected to receive less rainfall, how El Niño affects the Indian monsoon, the impact on Kharif crops, reservoirs, agriculture, hydropower, and drinking water, and whether the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) can offset the rainfall deficit. This topic is highly relevant for UPSC, State PCS, and other competitive examinations covering Geography, Environment, Agriculture, Disaster Management, and Current Affairs. ************************************************************************* महत्त्वपूर्ण प्लेलिस्ट 1.
