Goa Monsoon Expected Soon; Farmers Assess Crop Damage
Imagine the rainy season is about to start!
In Goa, farmers are checking how much their crops were damaged by the recent heavy rains.
Some areas got so much rain that fields were flooded, which worries farmers.
At the same time, the monsoon rains are expected to arrive in Goa soon, maybe in a couple of days.
The weather experts say the soft ground from the rain might help farmers get ready to plant new crops soon.
The weather has also sped up due to a weather system over the Arabian Sea.
The agriculture department is surveying rain damage to crops in South Goa.
Farmers in Sanguem, Quepem, and Canacona talukas have been heavily impacted.
Monsoon is expected to reach Goa within the next 2-3 days.
The monsoon arrived in Kerala eight days ahead of schedule.
Experts note that the rain-softened soil may benefit the next cropping season.
