Cyclone Arnab Deals Another Blow to Rain-Stressed Rice Crop | Datafy

Cyclone Arnab brought heavy rains, strong winds and flooding to several Indian states over the weekend. But for the key rice-producing states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, it also meant losses to the paddy crop. Crops in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have already been hit by irregular and deficient rainfall during this monsoon season. Now, as the crop reaches maturity, heavy rainfall between September 25 and September 28 has caused flooding in paddy fields, while accompanying strong winds flattened standing crops in several districts. According to data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), around half of Uttar Pradesh’s districts recorded a shortage of rainfall during at least 13 of the 16 weeks since the first week of June. For much of July, when paddy transplantation takes place, most districts of the state recorded a rainfall deficit of 20-99 per cent.
