Monsoon onset in Bundelkhand

The forecast of monsoon onset is very difficult at a particular place. But , forecast of monsoon onset is very important for farmers point of view in general and very important in rainfed and dryland area. Farmers are eagerly waiting for the monsoon onset to start the kharif crops sowing and other farm activities.

The monsoon final forecast update is still awaited from IMD during the month. There is possibility that monsoon onset will be between 19 and 24 June, 2017 in Tikamgarh. Though the pre monsoon showers will be received before 19th June and hence; farmers will be able to start sowing of kharif crops on time.  Farmers are advised to start sowing of Soybean during last week of June to first week of July, looking the possibility of long breaks(greater than 2 weeks) in monsoon after its onset will be very low ( less than 40 per cent).
