India's Monsoon Is Stalling Badly — 41% Rainfall Deficit and Goa Has Just One Month of Water Left
The Hindu·Friday, 19 June 2026
The southwest monsoon has stalled over Maharashtra, leaving India with a 41% rainfall deficit as of June 19. Central India is hardest hit with a 67% deficit, followed by east and northeast India at 42%. Goa is in a critical situation, with only one month's drinking water supply remaining, though IMD predicts rainfall could resume in the state by next weekend.
Why It Matters
A weak monsoon means less water for farms, reservoirs, and daily use — affecting food prices, electricity supply, and drinking water for hundreds of millions of people across India.
