Hi there!
▶ What is Monsoon?
Monsoon are the Seasonal winds coming from the Indian ocean and the Arabian sea bringing intense rainfall.
The term ‘monsoon’ was first used in the Indian subcontinent.
This season lasts from June to September of each year.
▶ How it affects our country?
It mainly affects these sectors,
✨ ECONOMY & MARKETS:
-- The monsoon rains are vital for farm output and economic growth in India, the world’s second-biggest producer of rice, wheat, sugar and cotton.
-- India is largely self-sufficient in major foodgrains such as rice and wheat, but drought can send the country to global markets.
- Higher farm output would rein in food prices and help the government to take steps to cut the fiscal deficit and farm subsidies.
-- A stronger economic outlook can lift sentiment in equity markets, mainly of companies selling products in rural areas, including consumer goods and automobiles.
✨ IRRIGATION, POWER:
-- Monsoon rains replenish reservoirs and lift ground-water levels, allowing better irrigation and more hydropower output.
-- Higher rainfall can cut demand for subsidised diesel, which is used to pump water from wells for irrigation and makes up for about 40 percent of India’s oil products demand.
Cheers!

An average or normal monsoon means rainfall between 96 and 104 percent of a 50-year average of 89 centimetres during a four-month season from June, India’s weather office says.
Rainfall below 90 percent of the average is considered a drought.
The monsoon season starts with the arrival of the rains on the southern Kerala coast around June 1. Its progress triggers planting of summer crops.
