Skymet also believes that Monsoon 2015 will be promising for the farmers. 

The overall performance of Monsoon 2015 will be normal, but it will be weak in the sub-divisions of South Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rayalaseema, East Madhya Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh. Skymet has also deduced that Madhya Pradesh will be the worst affected this year. 

Impact of Monsoon 2015 on Agriculture
Indian economy largely depends on agriculture, making Monsoon an important phenomenon in the country. Several states of India do not have proper irrigational facilities. Agriculture in these areas are rainfed and depends on Monsoon rains. 

The main Kharif or Monsoon crops cultivated in India are Paddy, Soybean, Cotton and Groundnut.
Though the overall performance of Monsoon 2015 will be normal, it will be weak in the sub-divisions of South Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rayalaseema, East Madhya Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh.
