Monsoon has been good, well distributed: PAU [1]

Monsoon in Punjab has generally been good and covered most of parts of the state. This year monsoon arrived nearly 15 days early, but it was well distributed in June. This rain has been beneficial for the transplantation of paddy, and also for sugarcane and horticultural crops. For cotton and some vegetable crops, it has not been so good.

According to Agro-Meteorology Department experts of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) here, normal rainfall for June was 66.4 mm, but June 2008, recorded the highest rainfall of 277.3 mm in 40 years at Ludhiana.
