RAINY SEASON







Rainy season or the Monsoon arrives during 15-25 June all over India, usually. The Monsoon is always so uncertain. Some times its too much rain, and sometimes no rain. When the wet season occurs during a warm season, or summer, precipitation falls mainly during the late afternoon and early evening hours. The wet season is a time when air quality improves, freshwater quality improves, and vegetation grows significantly, leading to crop yields late in the season. Floods cause rivers to overflow their banks, and some animals to retreat to higher ground. Soil nutrients diminish and erosion increases. The incidence of malaria increases in areas where the rainy season coincides with high temperatures. Animals have adaptation and survival strategies for the wetter regime. Often, the previous dry season leads to food shortages in the wet season, as the crops have yet to mature.


There are unfortunate places which suffer from drought and just couple of months after, from floods. Rainy season is much awaited   in India, in northern part of the country   specially, because of  warm and dull summers. In India, in summers, temperature goes up to  47° C .  There’s a deadly warm wind blowing whole day as well, which is called “Loo” in North and West of India.  The rainy season can be said the most important season for India; since it decides how much rain different parts of the country gets. Some places have drought, some places have floods, and some places have both in same year. Monsoon is responsible for deciding the fate of farmers here because agriculture is so much depended on monsoon. So this season decides if farmers are going to have good year or bad. In north and west India, most of the rain of whole year comes in this season and rest of year can be quite dry. So water sources has to be filled in this season as well.







And daytime in summer means try to be indoors. South and east India are luckier that west and north India in case of getting rain.After 3 months of hot summer, when the rain drops touch the ground, it naturally feels like life is back. Environment goes greener and greener.  For 3 months of summer, farmers have nothing to do but rainy brings them back to their job and this is start of new academic year in schools and colleges while writing these lines, I was really lost in the fantasies of the monsoon. I love the evenings of rainy season when there are different beautiful designs of clouds appear in the sky in different colours . And the little wet and sweet breeze (and something yummy to eat).

This is time of celebration and joy. With a lush green environment. And beginning of a series of Hindu festivals and occasions one after another.
