Earlier, an IMD analysis had said rainfall as a whole was likely to be 93 per cent of the long period average. “From the date of onset of monsoon in Kerala on June 6 till June 24 only 62 per cent rainfall has been realised. The 72.7 mm rainfall recorded means a deficiency of 38 per cent in all divisions,’’ said IMD official.With the realised rainfall being less in all divisions, the lowest was recorded in the central parts followed by northwest India, east and north east India and southern parts.While rainfall is to revive in July, met officials have said statistics show there has only been four instances in the month where deficiency has been more than 30 per cent.
