Most of India received optimum rainfall this season so far, with the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting that the August and September could see a good rainfall.

Regions like Vidarbha and Marathwada, which faced acute water crisis due to two consecutive droughts, have received normal rainfall so far.
