IMD Warns of High Temperatures Threatening Rabi Crops

IMD Warns of High Temperatures Threatening Rabi Crops

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that the Rabi crops might be in danger this year.

They say that the temperatures in February are likely to be higher than usual, both during the day and at night.

This is because there will be fewer and weaker weather systems called western disturbances.

These disturbances usually bring cooler temperatures and rain, but this time they are not expected to be strong enough to help.

The IMD has given specific advice to farmers to protect their crops from the heat.

They also mentioned that the Eastern Himalayas might not get the usual cold weather this February.
