Likely Rainfall during This Week over Central and Eastern India

During next three days, light to moderate rainfall is likely to occur over many parts of Central and Eastern states like MP, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal.  This likely rain could turn out as a savior of Rabi crops in these states.  During this Rabi season, crops has suffered relatively higher temperature and soil moisture stress.  With this rainfall, the condition and prospect of the crops like wheat, maize, mustard and chickpea is expected to improve.   In this report, we have collated the current weather and ground information for several districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Rohtas has been major wheat producing district in Bihar and Farmers have given two irrigation to the wheat crop. Mustard and Chickpea is mostly sown in sandy soil. As per the farmers, the expected rainfall will be beneficial for the crop, especially which was sown late. In Siwan, wheat sowing was started from November and the crop has been irrigated at least one time as of now. Mustard sowing has also completed in the district.  Currently, the max temperature in Bihar is ranging around 24oC and min temperature is around 10oC. As per the WeatherSys forecast, light to moderate rainfall is likely to occur in Southern and Eastern districts of the state during next seven days.

Major chickpea area in Madhya Pradesh is also expected to be benefited by upcoming rainfall.  As per our metGIS® software, the crop is in flowering stage and light to moderate rainfall would enhance soil moisture and reduce the temperature significantly. This development would mitigate the yield loss in wheat in some extent. Currently, the day temperature in the state is hovering around 20 to 25oC and night temperature is between 6 to 14oC. During next seven days, light to moderate rainfall is likely to occur over middle and eastern parts of the state.
