Coimbatore: Coimbatore Tamil Nadu Agricultural University's Agro Climate Research Centre has released the district level seasonal rainfall forecast for Northeast monsoon-2020.
Northeast monsoon season (October to December) - 2020 rainfall forecast for different districts of Tamil Nadu is developed based on the Southern Oscillation Index and Sea Surface Temperature values of Pacific and Indian Oceans by using Australian Rainman [International V.4.3.Software at Agro Climate Research Centre, Directorate of Crop Management, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore and is presented at 60% probability level.
Normal Rainfall(+10 % from long term rainfall) is expected at Ariyalur, Chennai, Coimbatore, Cuddalore, Dharmapuri, Dindigul, Erode, Kanyakumari, Karur, Krishnagiri, Nagapattinam, Namakkal, Perambalur, Pudukkottai, Ramanathapuram, Salem, Sivaganga, Thanjavur, Theni, Thiruvallur, Tuticorin, Thirunelveli, Tiruppur, Thiruvannamalai, Villupuram and Virudhunagar.
Above Normal Rainfall (> 10 % from long term rainfall) is expected at Kancheepuram, Madurai, Thiruvarur, Tiruchirappalli and Vellore.
Near Normal (< 10 % from long term rainfall) is expected at The Nilgiris district.
As more than normal rainfall has been received during August and September months in part of Tamil Nadu, there is enough moisture stored in the soil. Hence, farmers may take up sowing immediately with the available soil moisture that would support the initial crop growth. Further, the rainfall from Northeast monsoon will help in better crop growth and productivity.
