The consequences of a patchy and weak monsoon triggered by El Niño may stretch past September. Inconsistent rainfall can lead to lower soil moisture levels, diminished reservoir reserves, and reduced groundwater replenishment. This situation threatens the rabi planting season, impacts access to drinking water, and affects both hydropower generation and electricity needs. Consequently, India could face the upcoming summer with strained water supplies. Furthermore, a strong El Niño event has the potential to make 2027 another year of record-breaking temperatures.
