Some important sugarcane growing areas in INDIA had received very little rain so far, this has pushed up the price of sugar.

FORECAST FOR THE PATH OF TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

Source:: IMD

GENERALLY CLOUDY SKY WITH RAIN/THUNDERSHOWER AT MANY PLACES WITH ISOLATED HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY SPELLS OVER PARTS OF NORTHWEST MAHARASHTRA, GUJARAT, CENTRAL MADHYA PRADESH, ASSAM & MEGHALAYA AND ARUNACHAL PRADESH.

PARTLY CLOUDY SKY WITH RAIN/THUNDERSHOWER AT A FEW PLACES OVER PARTS OF EAST UTTAR PRADESH, BIHAR, SUB-HIMALAYAN WEST BENGAL & SIKKIM

"Indian Weatherman" opinion::

Usually during South-west monsoon season, early mornings will be generally cloudy or atleast partly cloudy. So over India we have very less chance of witnessing the event.

There's a bright possibility of CLEAR skies over Bihar, because most of the moisture has been sucked by yesterday's depression which crossed Orissa and now over Vidharba.
