IMD forecasts near normal rains

IMD forecasts near normal rains


The
Indian Meteorological Department (IND), in its long-range forecast
update for the 2008 southwest monsoon, has maintained that rainfall for
the country as a whole is likely to be ?near normal?. The department
classifies rainfall as near normal when it's between 96% and 104% of
the 50-year average.

Good rains will bolster farm production which in turn may help rein in inflation.
