Adding
to the bleak scenario is the prospect of the monsoon's retreat
beginning soon. "The start of monsoon withdrawal is on cards," said IMD
director-general L S Rathore.
The monsoon's retreat, beginning from northwest India, is declared by IMD based on three criteria observed in the region — absence of rain for at least five straight days, a significant drop in moisture and reversal of monsoonal winds by the formation of an anti-cyclone. "We are seeing signs of the first two conditions. In the next few days it is likely that all three criteria will be met," Rathore said.
Monsoon's withdrawal from the country is a long drawn process that usually takes more than a month to complete. Although the normal date for the process to start is September 1, monsoon's withdrawal at this stage from northwest India would increase the rain deficit in the region where Punjab, Haryana and west Uttar Pradesh already have a significant shortfall.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/22-monsoon-deficit-in-August-third-driest-since-1993/articleshow/48752059.cms
