India will face a "below normal" rainfall this June-September monsoon season on account of moderate El Nino conditions, unless the Indian Ocean Dipole also known as Indian Nino, is able to negate the former weather pattern, said private weather forecaster Skymet.In its Monsoon forecast for 2019 released Wednesday, the agency said it expects the upcoming Monsoon to be "below normal" to the tune of 93 per cent of the long period average (LPA) of 887 mm for the four-month period from June to September.It said there is an error margin of 5 per cent in the forecast.According to Jatin Singh, MD, Skymet: "The Pacific Ocean has become strongly warmer than average. The model projections call for 80 per cent chance of El Nino during March-May, dropping to 60 per cent for June to August. This means, it is going to be a devolving El Nino year, though retaining threshold values all through the season. Thus, Monsoon 2019 is likely to be below normal".El Nino could be declared anytime now, says the .

LPA is the average of rainfall between 1951 and 2000, which is 89 cm. If the forecast comes true, then this will be the second consecutive year of a below normal rainfall.
