Main Body

5Higher oceanic evaporation leads to increased moisture and earlier rainfall by faster seeding of clouds
6Stronger tropical easterly jet shear over south India pushes winds to Indian subcontinent earlier.

Socio-Economic Impacts of Early Monsoon:

1Provides irrigation source for Indian agriculture ⇒ 75% depends on rains
2Relief from summer heat reduces heatwaves and promotes economic activity
3Helps increase forest cover and provides water supply to deciduous forests ⇒ green cover increases
4Higher water flow in rivers ⇒ increased availability of water.
5Recharges groundwater aquifers in

Plains ⇒ vital to water security

Plains ⇒ vital to water security

6Supports cultural tradition like Teej

Negative Impact:

1Early monsoon can cause soil che to waterlogging ⇔ Coffee stalk not is growing in Kerala
2Flooding of rice leads to loss of life in hilly regions ⇔ Uttarkhand cloudburst
3Causes more landslides in hilly regions (⇔ Beyond disaster)
4Untimely rain can ruin agricultural harvests ⇔ Wheat crop loss

Therefore early monsoons can have negative effects but proper mitigation can allow them to rejuvenate Indian economy and people.
