The uneven distribution of rainfall across regions could have varying impacts. The 'large deficient' rainfall in east and northeast India, which was 82% below normal, may affect agricultural activities and water availability in these areas. Conversely, the 'large excess' rainfall in central India, which was 69% above normal, could lead to localised flooding or waterlogging. The overall seasonal deficit of 15% may pose challenges for water resource management and crop yields in rain-dependent regions.
