June 2026 in India was recorded as the fifth driest June in the last 125 years. According to the India Meteorological Department, there was about 40 percent less rainfall compared to the normal rainfall. The late arrival of the southwest monsoon in Kerala has affected agricultural work in many states. The sowing of kharif crops like rice, maize, cotton and soybean has been delayed. Severe heatwaves are still continuing in some parts of north India. However, the monsoon is likely to become more active in the coming days and heavy rains are likely to occur in many states, the Meteorological Department said.
