IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra has predicted above-normal rainfall this monsoon, with the South West Monsoon rainfall over the country expected to be 106% of the long-period average with a model error of 4%. The weather office has also attributed the above-normal rain to La Nina conditions, which are expected to set in between August and September.
