Good News for Farmers
Although heavy rain may bring short-term problems, it is beneficial for agriculture in many areas. Paddy, maize, and other Kharif crops will get the required water. Groundwater levels will also rise.
When Will Weather Improve?
According to the IMD forecast, the intensity of rain will reduce after 36 hours. Light to moderate rain will continue in some places, but the danger of thunderstorms will go down. Clear skies are expected in northern parts of India in 2-3 days.
