Why IMD forecasts above-normal rain in Aug., Sept
The rainfall averaged over the entire country from August to September is likely to be above normal (>106% of the Long Period Average (LPA))
La Nina or La-Nina-like conditions are likely to develop towards the end of August.
So this could mean more rain in September [than normal]
Effect
Unusually heavy rain in September and October, when the monsoon officially retreats, can alter winter sowing and spike air pollution in northern India
