India’s Early Monsoon Brings Joy and Relief 🌧️
Guess what? The monsoon rains have arrived early in India this year! 🇮🇳 Usually, the monsoon starts around June 1st, but this time it hit the southern state of Kerala on May 24th, the earliest in 16 years!
What is the Monsoon?
The monsoon is a big season of heavy rains that happens every year in India from June to September. It’s super important because it brings about 70% of all the rain India gets. This water helps farmers grow crops like rice, corn, and sugarcane. 🌽🍚
Why is the Early Monsoon Good News?
This early arrival means farmers can start planting their crops sooner. It also brings relief from the really hot weather India has been having lately. Imagine getting a cool shower on a hot day—that’s how it feels! 😊
Affecting Millions of People
Almost half of India’s farmland depends on these rains. Without the monsoon, it would be hard to grow enough food. So, the early monsoon is like an early gift for everyone! 🎁
According to the India Meteorological Department, this is the earliest monsoon arrival since 2009. Let’s hope for good rains and a great harvest season ahead! 🌾
