La Nina developing in Pacific: What it means for India

India Nov 11, 2025

Heads up: Skymet has warned that the northeast monsoon in South India is likely to lose steam soon, thanks to a developing La Nina in the Pacific.
This shift could mean less rain for Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, with only limited rainfall activity expected, and the possibility of light to moderate showers with isolated heavy spells over south Tamil Nadu.

Less rain could impact farmers

Less monsoon rain isn't just about cooler weather—it's crucial for filling up reservoirs and watering Rabi crops.
With Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana expected to stay mostly dry next week, farmers and anyone relying on steady water supplies might feel the pinch.
Even though rainfall was higher than average recently, that surplus could fade fast if the dry spell continues.
