Maha: Govt advises farmers not to rush for sowing as progress of monsoon comes to standstill

Mumbai, Jun 1 (UNI) The Agriculture department of the Maharashtra government has once again appealed farmers (mainly drylands) not to rush for sowing and cultivation by believing any fake news, as advance of the south-west monsoon has come to abrupt standstill due to the changing weather conditions.
An official media statement issued here on Sunday stated that due to the change in weather conditions, the progress of the monsoon has started to slow down and now it has come to a grinding halt.
The monsoon is expected to take a breather at least till June 10, due to which only the west coast and some other minor parts of the state are expected to receive mainly light rain during this period.
However, dry weather is expected in most parts of the state, which will lead to an increase in maximum temperatures.
The maximum temperature is likely to reach 40 degrees Celsius in Vidarbha, while the maximum temperature in Marathwada and Khandesh will be between 35 and 40 degrees. This dry weather is likely to have a bad effect on sowing and cultivation, the statement added.
