Monsoon in India

The rainy season starts in India in early July and continues up to September. It comes as a great relief from excessive heat of summer. Birds, animals, plants and human beings all welcome the rainy season, because it gives them the much-needed relief.

The sky presents a very beautiful scene. The clouds of different shades move in the sky and look very nice. The trees gets covered with new leaves. New grass grows in the dry fields and they look like turf of green velvet. When it drizzles for several days, the roads, however, become muddy. Rivers, ponds and ditches are filled with water.

In India, we get rainfall for around 3-4 months. The agriculture of our country mainly depends upon water from rainfall. During this season, the ground water is replenished. The wells, lakes, ponds and reservoirs are filled with rain water. Without rain-water, these lands would turn into barren deserts.

Every year, we wait for the monsoon forecast from the weather department. Our heart gets filled with joy when we get the news of adequate monsoon.

Rain is of immense value to the cultivators. The greatest boon of the monsoon is the rich cultivation of crops. The tillers of land sow the seeds or plants as soon the rain makes the fields soft. Constant natural watering leads to their quick growth. During the period of adequate monsoon, we get good agricultural output.
