India is expected to receive heavy monsoon rains in September, providing relief to farmers after a dry August. The monsoon, which is crucial for India's economy, has been below average since June but is now picking up pace. The director-general of the India Meteorological Department stated that the monsoon is likely to be normal or above normal in September, benefiting crops such as rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, sugarcane, and peanuts. The monsoon is also expected to be delayed in its retreat, with current weather conditions indicating no signs of withdrawal.
