The monsoon's performance varies significantly across India's regions. For instance, East and Northeast India often experience substantial deficits, as seen in states like Meghalaya, which recorded a 60% shortfall in rainfall during one season. Similarly, South India frequently faces challenges, with states like Karnataka and Puducherry ending the monsoon below normal rainfall levels. In contrast, regions like Odisha and parts of western India sometimes receive above-average rainfall, highlighting the uneven distribution of precipitation.
