Indian monsoon on schedule

The Indian monsoon season has just started and officially runs from June to September. It seems to be on schedule and perhaps a little early in the west and a few days late in the east. Mumbai is seeing heavy rains a few days early.  Last year the monsoon was somewhat delayed and not too regular though it was “average” taken over the entire 4 months. With industrial growth still somewhat in the doldrums a boost to agricultural output will be very welcome.

There are no signs of the catastrophe scenarios that climate models take delight in forecasting about the effects of global warming on the Indian monsoon.
