The India Meteorological Department said the southwest monsoon has withdrawn from Jharkhand, with rainfall levels remaining within normal limits.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced in its latest bulletin that the southwest monsoon has officially retreated from the state of Jharkhand. The agency confirmed that the monsoon trough no longer covers the region, marking the end of the rainy spell for the area.
IMD’s assessment also indicated that rainfall recorded across Jharkhand during the monsoon period fell within the climatological normal range. There were no reports of excessive or deficient precipitation, suggesting that the state’s water reservoirs and agricultural fields received expected amounts.
The withdrawal is expected to usher in drier weather conditions for the coming weeks. Meteorologists have warned that the post‑monsoon phase could bring higher temperatures, prompting authorities to monitor heat‑related health risks and water management closely.
Overall, the IMD’s update provides a clear picture of the monsoon’s progression and its impact on Jharkhand’s seasonal climate patterns.
