El Nino impact: India sees lowest monsoon rainfall in over a decade
India has recorded its lowest monsoon rainfall in over a decade. The four-month season ended about 12.6 per cent below the long-period average, and the June 1 to September 13 period was 15 per cent below normal. El Nino is the main reason. If you run a farm or a business that depends on rural demand, plan for higher costs and weaker rural spending ahead.
