What is the impact of Cyclone Biparjoy on the Indian monsoon season

The IMD has stated that Cyclone Biparjoy won't impact monsoon further. What are the expected weather patterns in the coming weeks and how will it affect agriculture and the economy?
As per the IMD, Cyclone Biparjoy has weakened and dissipated, and is unlikely to affect the Indian monsoon season any further. Here are some points that describe the expected weather patterns in the coming weeks and the impact it might have on agriculture and the economy:
  • The monsoon is expected to continue over central and western India, with above-normal rainfall predicted over some areas in the next few weeks.
  • However, parts of eastern and northeastern India may experience below-normal rainfall due to a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal.
  • This could have a negative impact on agriculture in those regions, affecting crops like paddy, wheat, and mustard.
  • In contrast, good monsoon conditions in central and western India are likely to benefit crops like rice, sugarcane, and cotton.
  • The overall impact of these weather patterns on the Indian economy is expected to be mixed, with some sectors benefitting and others impacted negatively.
  • Overall, it's important to monitor the monsoon conditions closely, as they have a major impact on India's agriculture-dependent economy.
Therefore, while Cyclone Biparjoy may not have a direct impact on the monsoon season, other weather patterns may still affect agriculture and the economy in the coming weeks.
