IMD says 'atmosphere moving towards La Nina conditions, which is good,' adding that 'intensity of rain will get better and July is likely to end in a surplus'.
While the chances of an El Niño developing early in the year are small, current forecasts say there is a 55 per cent chance it could develop between June and August.
Even if the El Niño, which can cause a monsoon deficit in India, does set in as predicted, other weather phenomena could potentially mitigate its effects.
IMD data shows east, northeast India had 18% rainfall deficit between 1 June and 10 August. But central and southern regions saw excess of 24% and 28%, respectively.
Experts agree that these weather patterns are the result of a combination of internal variability, an unusually long La Nina period, and climate change.
