Indian meteorological department was forecasting a warmer than the normal summer season for India in 2020. But it turned out to be all different as the months of April and May are giving very moderate summer with above normal rainfall for the season. I had forecast  a moderate summers season with above normal pre-monsoon rains in my last blog post on April 4 with title ” Forecasting Trends of the Summer Season in  2020″ 

Now see these news reports in the month of February in which IMD forecast for warmer than the normal summer season in 2020.

March-May period likely to be hotter than the normal- IMD 

At the time when Indian Meteorological department was forecasting a scorching summer with deadly heatwave it was astrology which made the correct forecast of a moderate summer with good pre-monsoon showers.

Unusually cool and wet April takes weather office by surprise 

The above link is of a Hindustan Times report published on 1 May 2020 which says that Indian weather office was caught by surprise by the unusually cool and wet weather in April. As per the IMD’s rainfall data, between 1 March and April 26, 13 Indian states recorded large excess of rains by 60% above normal. Now the question comes why IMD fails to forecast this but astrology again get better of them ?

Indian Meteorological Department is not taking into consideration the factor of ‘cooling down of the sun’ i.e. solar minimum. I have been writing about it on my blog since last one year. Using this ancient principal given in Brihat Samhita i had correctly foretasted the excess rains during the south-west monsoon 2019 and then unusually cold and rainy winters in 2019-2020.

Sun is in sleep – Solar Minimum

Solar minimum is a period when Sun records very few activity of ‘sun spots’. In 2019 it was only in July and December when there were few sun-spots. Now since last 100 days there is no activity on the sun as per the web site of NASA. There is a 11 years cycle of Sun Spots which is usually studied by the scientists  then there is a cycle of 100 years, 400 years and also 2500 years which usually scientists do not study but astrologers knew. The sun spots not only effect our weather and temperature but its cycle is also used in forecasting wars, earthquakes and  famine etc.

Excess rains, flood and big Cyclones Predicted during 21 June to 31st of August in 2020

This year during the south-west monsoon season the transit of Saturn and Jupiter into Capricorn sign and Mars ingress from Pisces is indicating excess rainfall activity along with flood during 21st of June and 31st of August. In India the north and western part of the country will suffer from excess rainfall and flood after the solar eclipse of 21st of June this year. Long stay of Mars in Pisces, a watery sign, and the transit of Saturn from Capricorn which is also a watery sign along with the solar minimum has to give more than 100% of rains fall for long period average in the south-west monsoon season (June to September) in year 2020. 

Apart from this the Vrishabha Samkranti Kundali of Sun indicate a very good monsoon crops or Kharif crops. The production of rice, soybean, millet (Bajra), sugarcane, corn, cotton, sesame, pluses  etc. will be very good in the Kharif season (winter crops) in 2020.

At the time of Sun’s entry into Taurus the conjunction of two benefic planets Venus and Mercury with it and the auspicious aspect of Jupiter on it is showing good production of monsoon or Kharif crops in year 2020. This yoga also indicate a timely entry of south-west monsoon. But since Mars aspect the Sun in the Vrishabha Samkranti chart so there will also be lots of damage to the crops in some parts, specially in north and western parts, due to heavy rains and pestilence in the Kharif season this year.
