Cotton sowing intensifies due to favorable weather, heat wave alert in Rajasthan

According to the latest 24-hour forecast issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), weather conditions across India’s major cotton-growing belts are expected to remain largely favorable for sowing and field preparation, with dry weather dominating central and northwestern regions.

Central India (Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh): Predominantly dry weather with rising temperatures will support land preparation and early sowing activities. Soil conditions remain workable and favorable.

Northwest India (Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana): Dry conditions will continue across the region. However, heatwave conditions in parts of Rajasthan may accelerate soil moisture loss, making irrigation management important.

South India (Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu): Isolated light rainfall and thunderstorms are expected. While not widespread, these may cause short-term, localized disruptions to fieldwork.

East & Northeast India (Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Odisha): Light to moderate rainfall is likely, with occasional heavier spells in the Northeast. These areas are less significant for cotton but indicate active moisture conditions.

Overall: Weather remains largely favorable for cotton sowing across key regions, with dry conditions aiding progress. Localized rain in the south and heat stress in Rajasthan are the main factors to watch.
