India's monsoon expected to cover entire nation early
The monsoon is moving fast this year and is set to reach all parts of India in just three to four days—over a week earlier than usual.
After a brief pause, rains have quickly spread across most states, with only a few areas like Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh still waiting for showers.
Early monsoon means more time for farmers to work
This early and strong monsoon has flipped June's rainfall from a big deficit to a surplus.
Since nearly half of India's farms rely on rain, these timely showers are great news for farmers—they can start planting rice, cotton, soybeans, and sugarcane sooner.
A healthy monsoon also helps keep food supplies steady for everyone next year.
