The 2014 India Monsoon Season: The Most Important Forecast in the World

 

It’s about to start raining in India, but not quite yet.

 

That’s big news in a country where about half of the 1.25 billion population is engaged in agriculture. Each year, 70 percent of India’s annual rains come during the summer monsoon months of June to September, when rising warm air over the subcontinent draws moisture northward from the relatively cooler Indian Ocean. This year, thanks in part to El Niño, the outlook is grim.
