Ministry of science and technology cites study saying disturbance from north atlantic could derail Indian monsoon

The findings suggest that modelling efforts ought to focus on including the influence of mid-latitudes, in addition to the Pacific and Indian oceans, for getting a better handle on the predictability of the monsoon, its variability as well as droughts.

During non-El Nino droughts there is a moderate decrease in June rainfall, followed by signs of recovery during mid-July to mid-August - the peak of the season. In picture, Mamallapuram coast during cyclone Nivar.(PTI)
