As per the Meteorological Centre, the rainfall recorded till 8:30 am on Sunday stood at 14.2 mm in the city. Officials have attributed the showers to a low-pressure area that has formed over the Bay of Bengal, which is likely to bring intermittent rainfall to Nagpur and other parts of Vidarbha over the next 2-3 days. Thunderstorms and heavy showers are also expected in isolated areas during this period.
Despite the onset of the monsoon, many parts of Vidarbha continue to face a deficit in consistent and adequate rainfall required for sowing, leaving farmers worried. Several farmers had begun sowing their crops during the initial spell of rain in the last week of June. However, the sudden break in rainfall has forced many of them to consider re-sowing, adding to their financial burden and anxiety.
The farming community across the region is now anxiously waiting for the monsoon to stabilize to avoid further losses.
