The South-West monsoon is likely to hit Kerala on 29 May 2008, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), yesterday, 14 May 2008, said. Initial forecast by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) suggest that the crucial South-West monsoon (June-September) this year will be near normal. Now IMD's second forecast in June 2008 which may also indicate spatial rainfall distribution in the main sowing season of July 2008, is crucial.
A well distributed monsoon will bolster food production which in turn will help rein in inflation which is currently ruling at a three-year high. Surging global food prices has been a key driver of soaring inflation in India in recent weeks. Agricultural output in India depends on good rains.
