Monthly Outlook for Rainfall during September 2026
Monthly rainfall over the country as a whole during September 2026 is most likely to be below normal (<91% of Long Period Average (LPA)). Spatially, many parts of the country are likely to receive below-normal rainfall. However, some areas of Northwest, Northeast, East, East central and Southeast Peninsular India, are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall.
Currently, strong El Niño conditions are prevailing over the equatorial Pacific Ocean, with sea surface temperature (SST) remaining above normal across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific. These conditions are expected to strengthen further in the coming months. At present, neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions prevail over the Indian Ocean. Forecasts from the Monsoon Mission Coupled Forecast System (MMCFS) indicate that neutral IOD conditions are likely to persist through September 2026. However, forecasts from international climate centres suggest that the neutral IOD conditions may transition to positive IOD conditions from September onwards
