PANAJI: Goa will receive normal monsoon rainfall this year, meteorology experts said on Thursday.
“The La Nina phenomenon in the central Pacific Ocean till the mid-monsoon month of July will result in normal monsoon rainfall in the state. However, a negative phase of the Indian Ocean dipole can change the seasonal rainfall distribution in different months,” meteorologist and former chief scientist at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), M R Ramesh Kumar said.
